The Eye Above the Well
Het oog boven de put
1988 · 1h 34m · Documentary · Netherlands, Germany
A poetic depiction of life and ritual in the south Indian state of Kerala. We see how knowledge is passed down from generation to generation: within the family, through the village economy, and especially from teachers to students. Performance footage shows how song, dance, martial arts, and religion constitute the building blocks of a culture.
