Borneo Eco Film Festival: Bobohizan Sukod Vagu. [Video] (2014)



Abstract

A “Bobohizan” or “Bobolian” is the name given to a traditional healer and spirit medium by the Kadazan-Dusun people. With increasing modernization and the rapid cultural erosion among Sabah’s indigenous peoples, the traditional knowledge of Bobohizans is fast disappearing. This film explores the motivations and aspirations of a young Kadazan man, who is learning the skills of the Bobohizan in order to keep this knowledge alive for future generations.
