Voices of the Rainforest: A Day in the Life of Bosavi
Produced by Steven Feld and Dennis Leonard
Directed by Steven Feld and Jeremiah Ra Richards in collaboration with the Bona community of Bosavi, Papua New Guinea
Voices of the Rainforest is a 70-minute eco-rockumentary, a cinema concert of a day in the life of the rainforest and the music it inspires for the Bosavi people of Papua New Guinea. Everyday activities of work, leisure, and ritual are heard in the full ambient setting of the rainforest throughout the day and night.
Steven Feld, worked in Bosavi 1975-2000 and recorded the original (1991) Voices of the Rainforest CD with production support from Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart. Working with acclaimed sound editor Dennis Leonard at Skywalker Sound in 2016-2017, Feld recomposed a 25th-anniversary 7.1 Voices soundtrack.
A 2018 return to Bosavi with filmmaker Jeremiah Ra Richards and work with archival photographs led to creating an immersive film joined to the 7.1 soundtrack.
