About the Director: Koštana Banović is art practitioner and filmmaker. The work of Banović balances on the boundary of anthropology and art; focuses on the relation between Self and Other and on ritual, which she believes is a territory where we (try to) communicate. Taking part in and researching ritual as a means of getting in touch with oneself and others is a recurring element in her work. In the course of the film she adopts different positions simultaneously - the (Western) women, the filmmaker-anthropologist researching the (exotic) Other. Her work is often compared to the modern visual anthropology.
