Aboriginal society - not so different from our own.

Under discussion:

Ten Canoes  (2007)
Directed by Rolf de Heer (Alexandria's Project), this film screened at the 2006 Telluride Film Festival in a program item that was a tribute to de Heer.  The film tells the story of tribal Aboriginal traditions and the cycle of life in this tribe.  One is quickly obsorbed by the story and and the vivid cinematography.  In Telluride, de Heer explained that these tribal peoples have no concept of fiction.  He was thus required to cast players in their real-life tribal roles.  This film is an intresting look into a culture that, on the surface one would think completely foriegn to us, but as things play out we see that this socialized Human life is all too similar to our own Western societies.
