520 "Edited film produced and distributed by Excelsior Picture
Corporation was shot in the course of the Cotlow New
Guinea expeditions in 1958 and 1959 to the Australian
territory of Papua New Guinea and West Irian, Dutch New
Guinea (Irian Djaja). The expedition visits a number of
patrol posts in the territories and accompanies various
Australian and Dutch district patrol officers on their
circuit. In the Mount Hagen area the expedition films a
murder trial presided over by the patrol officer and
practices associated with the lamentation of the dead.
Sequences include a Dani pig feast (Balim Valley) and a
mock raid by the Kukukuku who also display courtship
rituals and the mummification of dead relatives. Film
concludes with a major sing-sing (probably the "Hagen
Show") at which Aiome Pygmies, the "mudmen" of the Asaro
River region, and Minj, Enga, Hageners, Chimbu, and Goroka
peoples ceremonially display themselves"--National
