*This version is for classrooms, on behalf of a governmental entity or a for-profit enterprise. DESCRIPTION Over three hundred miles south of the Philippine capital of Manila lies the tropical island of Siquijor, famous for its traditional healers, sorcerers, and witches. "Shamans of Siquijor" follows three healers to learn about their practices and beliefs. With guidance from the supernatural world, healers cure illnesses using medicinal herbs, incantations, a magical prayer wheel, and other means. Is folk healing still valuable for the social and spiritual life of the community or just a dying relic of old traditions? The documentary is an introduction to this healing culture. It is useful as a teaching tool when viewed as a companion piece to existing academic texts by anthropologists, which present in-depth analyses of healing and sorcery practices in the Philippines.

Summary: Highly recommended!
Comment: I've used Brillantes' video in a few of my classes. Students raise questions about their cultural commitments to medical practices and how we rarely live inside the categories of academic specialties. I recommend Brillantes' work to anyone interested in cultural studies of medicine, health and power.

Summary: Shamans of Siquijor
Comment: The SHAMANS OF SIQUIJOR is a fascinating film! Particularly adept, is the way we watch the healers and the hopefulls participate, without any intrusive overview. It's as if we've come upon the village ourselves, and met up with this fascinating old (but not ancient, as it includes Catholicism) culture of faith. I found the mix of the indigenous and the Catholic especially interesting. The real people who come from all over the world, including the rural US, are absolutely fascinating. Brillantes knows how to let the story unfold.
