the myth of bunbangfay

About the myth of creation of monsoon in the Mekong valley, through the rocket festival celebrated in the streets with derision, parades and processions.

This halfway between epic and ethnological documentary is a tribute to mother earth which establishes the shimmering spectacle of an universal metaphor of the principle of reproduction.

In this Thai-Lao rural landscape, the honor goes to heaven and rain , to fertility of rice fields, via facetious merits as a symbolic tradition.

This movie is all about the chaos of the 6th lunar month: the arrival of the monsoon and testifies a unique immaterial patrimony.
