Filmscreening and Discussion: „Chanthaly“
Film by Mattie Do Laos 2012, ’98 minutes
A sickly young woman is visited by visions of her dead mother. Desperately, she tries to find out if the symptoms are simply side effects of her daily medication, or if her mother actually reaches for her from the afterlife ... „Chanthaly“ is considered the first Laotian horror film and caused a sensation at several film festivals. It throws light on generational conflicts in present-day Laos and the uncanny presence of various ghost beings in Lao everyday religiosity. From the ethnological perspective, the ensuing podium discussion will focus on the tensions between tradition and modernity in Laotian society as well as the special role of ghost faith.
