Three documentaries: Jalan Ayam (The Chicken Road), Cowboys in Paradise, Bali: Body & Spirit
The Variety Club Screening Room
San Francisco, CA
Share this event:




THE FIRST screening is Jalan Ayam (The Chicken Road), a documentary short directed by Tim Barretto and Ben Mortley. (Australia, 2014, 3 minutes).  Indonesian and English with English subtitles.

  On rural Indonesian roads, chickens have the right of way.  A           young Australian traveller accidentally kills a chicken, and it sets him on a journey where he learns a few of the finer details of rural culture in West Java.


THE SECOND screening is Bali: Body & Spirit.  a film by Henry Young. (USA, 2012, 24 minutes) in Indonesian, Balinese and English with English subtitles.

  This film is a journey into the life of Ni Ketut Trima, a young Balinese girl whose fate brought her to America, only to return to Bali for the cremation of her father and her mother when two months prior to the cremation, her mother suddenly passes away.  This film gives viewers a fascinating glimpse of the Balinese traditional elaborate cremation ceremonies in which remains are exhumed, burned and cast into the ocean so that their spirits are free to reincarnate.


THE THIRD screening is Cowboys in Paradise, a documentary film directed by Amit Virmani. (Singapore,2009, 82 minutes) in Indonesian and English with English subtitles.

  Thousands of women travel to Bali each year in search of paradise.  And many find it in the arms of the Kuta Cowboys.  Masters at peddling the holiday-romance concoction.  Learn what separates the Cowboys from the garden-variety gigolos.  Discover how chance encounters on the beach have major ramifications for an entire economy.  And witness why Paradise, once a Cowboy's most useful ally, is always elsewhere.

  The controversial film was featured on CNN, BBC and various international media, and is regarded as a valuable counterpoint to "Eat, Pray, Love".

  The film also charts the typical trajectory of a Cowboy's life, from entry into beach life to his reign at the top of the tourist industry chain, before following his heartbreaking descent into obsolescence.  By the end, the myth of paradise is shattered and the viewer is presented with a more realistic proposition- Paradise is always elsewhere.
