Peter Mettler calls it a ‘small film’. For me, Balifilm is a cinematographic piece of ideal duration. A visual approach to the Balinese culture of great physical and spiritual qualities at the time: spontaneous, light-handed, direct… A full-touch music-film: image, sound, colours and rhythm create a swinging synthesis for all our senses.
