Overview

In Bali Beyond The Postcard, art and everyday life come together in an intimate story about a Balinese family whose gamelan music and Legong dance tradition spans four generations. The documentary follows an important event in the history of the family - the passing down of the Legong dance legacy to the youngest, a nine-year-old member of the family. From the first rehearsal taught by the mother to the final debut presided over by the family's ninety-year-old patriarch and gamelan master, the filmmakers capture the intensity with which tradition evolves and is passed on in Bali. The result is an intimate view into a dynamic culture steeped in ancient traditions and increasingly exposed to the modern world.
