虎日 (2002)

Handling

An investigation and study of the Yi ethnic minority's "Tiger Day" ceremony that applies the holistic principles of anthropological human research, while looking for the sociocultural causes of drug dependence behavior for local ethnic groups. The film establishes another methodology different from scientific methodology, that is, to defeat the addiction of human biology with the power of culture. "Tiger Day" changed the traditional characteristics of simple description and interpretation, and was involved in exploring the direct application purpose of the film and putting it into practice, thus opening up a new direction for film and television anthropology. Nominated for a Special Award at the 16th Belfast Public Health Conference Film Festival in 2005.
