[edit] Information

Long-time Papua New Guinea resident and filmmaker Chris Owen delivers a beautiful and straightforward documentary of remote highlanders in PNG. In the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea, the Enga people have developed the art of body decoration as a visual language. Using earth paints, tree oils, bird plumes, human hair, and a variety of plants, the Enga turn the body into a medium for an expressive and dramatic symbolism. This film shows the diverse forms of body art in both daily life and ritual in Enga village society.
