This film documents the lives of Quechua people who live around Ausangate, a sacred peak in southeastern Peru. It is based on anthropological research conducted over twenty years and reveals how the weavers make textiles encoded with symbolic images that reinforce ancestral beliefs during rituals and in everyday life. Four Quechua people's stories are told against a backdrop of high Andean lakes and mountains showing a harsh existence possible only through a strong symbiotic relationship to their alpacas and llamas. This film documents the lives of Quechua people who live around Ausangate, a sacred peak in southeastern Peru. Four Quechua people's stories are told against a backdrop of high Andean lakes and mountains showing a harsh existence possible only through a strong symbiotic relationship to their alpacas and llamas. From these animals they gain food, pelts, dried dung for fuel, transport for goods, and yarn for clothing. The film shows weaving techniques, first haircutting rites of passage, and the annual pilgrimage of Qoyllur Rit'I, in which dancers known as ukus stand all night on the 15,000-foot-high glacier so they may have the privilege of taking a chunk of ice from the mountain that is later melted and drunk by their community as sacred water. Visually cinematic, the film carries a deep message of survival and cultural continuity in an environment with elevations over 14,000 feet. Faced with the pressures of modernization, Quechuas are confronted with choices about whether to move to the cities in search of jobs and educations-- thus separating themselves from nature and from Ausangate- or to continue in a lifestyle that has sustained them for centuries. Theirs is a story of change incorporated onto a bedrock of tradition that is dynamic and capable of adaptation.

B.A.T.A.M. tells the contrasting stories of two women: Wati, a young factory worker, and Dewi, a prostitute, both of whom live through a dramatic transformation on the Indonesian island of Batam, located on Singapore's doorstep. B.A.T.A.M. tells the contrasting stories of two women: Wati, a young factory worker, and Dewi, a prostitute, both of whom live through a dramatic transformation on the Indonesian island of Batam, located on Singapore's doorstep. In this free-trade zone, an official economy based in the factories, and an unofficial economy of prostitution, have developed together increasing Batam's population from 3,000 to 700,000. As the two divergent economies depend on female labor, the experiences of these two women illuminate the ways in which multinational capitalism and migration interact in the shadowlands of globalization. "There is no doubt in my mind that this particular film would stand out as an exceptional addition to any ethnographic film catalog and, more pointedly, to the collecti on of liberal arts colleges. ... I am confident that the film would be utilized in a wide range of courses in Anthropology, and other disciplines, and is germane to such diverse and important scholarly topics as the study of globalization, development, transnationalism, Economic Anthropology, Political Anthropology, and as I have used it, in courses explicitly concerned with cross-cultural study of gender and ethnographic film." — Matthew Amster, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Gettysburg College

This intimate, revealing film of conversations between Jean Rouch and a number of filmmakers and friends including John Marshall is unlike any past films on Rouch's life and work. It was shot over a two-year period, 1978-80 by his friend, Ann McIntosh, who taught video under Ricky Leacock at MIT. There are some fascinating insights as he discusses his methodology with students at Harvard and Hampshire College in western Massachusetts. He also reflects on war and the role he played as an engineer in France during WWII and lighter moments vacationing with his wife.
