Dangerous on the Way

Sensuous portrayal of the traditional harvesting of bird’s nests, a particularly dangerous and breathtaking ritual performed twice a year by the Orang Sungai people, at a height of over 120 meters — going up the summit of Simud Putih or the “White Cave” of Gomantong, Borneo. Dangerous on the Way focuses more specifically on the ekstasis this ritual induces, that physical and mental state described in Greek philosophy as being “outside oneself.”

Born to Be Wild

Born to Be Wild observes various orphaned jungle animals and their day-to-day behavioural interactions with the individuals who rescue them and raise them to adulthood. The film unfurls in two separate geographic spheres. Half of it takes place in the rain forests of Borneo, where celebrated primatologist Dr. Birute Galdikas assists baby orangutans; the other half takes place on the arid savannahs of Kenya, where zoologist Dame Daphne Sheldrick works with baby elephant calves.
