Through sound and image, the film immerses viewers in the rainforest, and makes audible myriad connections between the everyday sounds of the rainforest biosphere and the creative practices of singing to, with, and about it by the Bosavi people.&nbsp;Structured around a day in the life of the rainforest and the music it inspires for the Bosavi people, the film brings to life the everyday activities of work, leisure, and ritual–heard in the full ambient setting of the rainforest–throughout the day and night.</div><div><br /><i>Voices of the Rainforest&nbsp;</i>was produced by Steven Feld and Dennis Leonard and Directed by Steven Feld and Jeremiah Ra Richards in collaboration with the Bona community of Bosavi, Papua New Guinea. Feld conducted anthropological and ethnomusicological fieldwork in Bosavi from 1975 to 2000. The original Voices of the Rainforest CD was produced during this time (1991) with production support from Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart. Working with acclaimed sound editor Dennis Leonard at Skywalker Sound in 2016-2017, Feld recomposed a 25th anniversary 7.1 <i>Voices </i>soundtrack. A 2018 return to Bosavi with filmmaker Jeremiah Ra Richards and digitization of Feld's extensive archival photographs led to the creation of the immersive film joined to the 7.1 soundtrack.&nbsp;</div><div><br /><i>Voices of the Rainforest&nbsp;</i>is the first in a series of films based on Feld's work. While&nbsp;<i>Voices</i>&nbsp;offers a visualization of the original audio experience,&nbsp;<i>New Voices of the Rainforest</i>, the companion film, will provide an update on the state of the forest and the problems of development in what remains a remote and underserved region of Papua New Guinea.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This Deluxe Edition includes a 150-page color photobook, 7.1 Blu-ray (with a 2.0 stereo track) and the 25th Anniversary edition audio CD.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>All sales benefit the Bosavi Peoples Fund, advocating for environmental and cultural justice in a remote part of Papua New Guinea.&nbsp;<br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Selected Screenings &amp; Awards</b></div><div><i>Honourable Mention</i>, <i>Documentary Film Prize</i>, International Council for Traditional Music, 2020</div><div>Competition Category "Community and Equality," Vizantrop Film Festival, 2020 </div>&nbsp;<div><b>Academic Screenings<br /></b></div><div><div dir="ltr">Scholarship Film Festival, U Pennsylvania, 2019<br /></div><div dir="ltr">NYU Depts of Anthropology &amp; Music, 2019</div><div dir="ltr">Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology UK, 2019</div><div dir="ltr">University of Eastern Finland, 2019</div><div dir="ltr">Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, 2019</div><div dir="ltr">Harvard University, 2019</div></div></div><style type="text/css">p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica}</style><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/v-c34all.aspx">V</a> to see additional products in this category.</div> https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-amazon-projects-series-p939.aspx Product939 Wed, 5 Sep 2018 11:07:00 GMT <div style="float:left"><a class="url" href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-amazon-projects-series-p939.aspx"><img src="//cdn.nexternal.com/der/images/amazonian-projects-series-vitv.jpg" alt="Video in the Villages: Amazon Projects series" border="0" hspace="3"></a></div><span class="riRssTitle"><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-amazon-projects-series-p939.aspx">Video in the Villages: Amazon Projects series</a></span><br><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-amazon-projects-series-p939.aspx">Buy Now:</a> <span color="#990000"><b>$400.00</b></span> <br /><br /><div>These videos give examples of environmental protection and sustainable development projects taking place in indigenous areas of the Amazon.

Initially the training of Indian video-makers was done village-by-village, providing records for their own use. Today, through national and regional workshops, they learn and discuss together ways to present their reality, for their own people and for the world. The documentaries develop issues that are considered important by their communities. The project's collection includes a series of documentaries produced by the team of trainers and by indigenous video-makers.</div><div><br /></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><div dir="ltr"><i>Its vision of using filmmaking and communication to empower indigenous communities has... gained the group wide acclaim, from humanitarian organizations, film critics, and scholars alike.&nbsp;</i></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div dir="ltr">- Zoe Graham, Visual Anthropology Review</div></div></blockquote><div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>The collection contains the following series:</b></div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages--video-in-the-villages-series-p973.aspx">Video in the Villages Series</a></b></div><div>The use of video by different communities.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-encounters-series-p944.aspx">Encounters Series</a></b></div><div>Encounters and interchange between nations that have met through video recording.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-rituals-series-p957.aspx">Rituals Series</a></b></div><div>A way of approaching ritual and cultural traditions in complicity with the Indians.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-indigenous-video-makers-series-p947.aspx">Indigenous Video-Makers Series</a></b></div><div>Documentaries produced during workshops.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-amazon-projects-series-p939.aspx">Amazon Projects Series</a></b></div><div>Environmental protection projects and innovative experiences of sustainable development in indigenous areas of the Amazon.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-conflicts-in-the-amazon-series-p941.aspx">Conflicts in the Amazon Series</a></b></div><div>Conflicts and sustainable development in indigenous areas.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-indians-in-brazil-series-p946.aspx">Indians in Brazil Series</a></b></div><div>A series of videos produced for the 'TV Escola' (TV School) of the Ministry of Education draw a picture of contemporary indigenous reality for college students.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-ashanika-villages-series-p940.aspx">Ashaninka Villages Series</a></b></div><div>Documentation of new sustainable development efforts in the Ashaninka villages of Acre, Brazil</div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/v-c34all.aspx">V</a> to see additional products in this category.</div> https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages--video-in-the-villages-series-p973.aspx Product973 Wed, 5 Sep 2018 11:07:00 GMT <div style="float:left"><a class="url" href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages--video-in-the-villages-series-p973.aspx"><img src="//cdn.nexternal.com/der/images/vitv-series.jpg" alt="Video in the Villages: Video in the Villages series" border="0" hspace="3"></a></div><span class="riRssTitle"><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages--video-in-the-villages-series-p973.aspx">Video in the Villages: Video in the Villages series</a></span><br><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages--video-in-the-villages-series-p973.aspx">Buy Now:</a> <span color="#990000"><b>$2,195.00</b></span> <br /><br /><div><div>These films are proof of the power of video.
