518    Originally produced by Ronin Films in 1977. 
520    At the request of a dying Tiwi man and his family on 
       Melville Island, this film was made of the pukumani 
       (bereavement) ceremony to follow his death. The film 
       observes the family through the long period of preparation
       for the ceremony, following age-old traditions. Dancing 
       and face-painting are rehearsed, to the family's 
       satisfaction, and because "things should be right for this
       film". For the two days of ceremony, the community moves 
       to Carslake Beach where a smoking ritual is held to 
       protect the participants from spirits. The cemetery poles 
       are erected, traditional dances are performed along with 
       personal dances by family members. Facial and body 
       decoration is elaborate and spectacular. After saying a 
       final farewell to the old man, the community and the 
       family leave the Beach and return to the village where 
       routine life resumes. The film is narrated by one of the 
       participants in the ceremony, Thomas Woody Minipini, not 
       using a prepared script, but with his observations 
       recorded as he watched the edited film. Produced and 
       directed by David MacDougall. Produced by the AIAS Film 
       Unit (Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies, 
       Canberra) - 1977 Ronin Films wishes to advise Aboriginal 
       and Torres Strait Islander people that this film may 
       contain images and voices of deceased persons.
