Description
Shaman Film by Lennart Meri 1977-1997, 22 min with English subtitles This film looks at the shamanic practises of the Nganasan people. The material was filmed during one single day (16 July 1977) in the most Northern edge of the Taymyr peninsula. Demnime, son of Dühode from Namtuso family (1913–1980) was then 64 years old. This film about his shamanistic rituals was finally released 20 years later. The Sons of Torum Film by Lennart Meri 1989, 61 min with English subtitles This film shows a 3000 year old Khanty ritual – a bear ceremony, where feasting and dancing appeal to the bear spirit. The bear has a special role in the Khanty mythological world as it was believed to be an ancestor of mankind and the son of a god Numi-Torem. The feast lasted several days and a shaman had a central role in this.
