RENE IATBA - NATURE’S AMBASSADOR

An interview with Rene IATBA.  RenĂ© says "My series of films reinstates the necessity of granting ART diplomatic immunity without attacking or violating the human rights of the individual. Freedom of expression is quintessential to communication and therefore to education”.

ART is the only endeavor in which an individual can find freedom from politicians dictatorships and the asphyxiating grip of religious beliefs. An artist cannot create and follow instruction at the same time.

To punish individuals for relating their dreams, visions or discoveries is a cruel and undeserved punishment. As Nature’s Ambassador I have been warning people of the impending doom we will face if we continue ignoring Nature’s messages such as climate change. Those who believe in eternal life after death undervalue the importance of life after birth.

My goal is to eradicate censorship because I consider it to be a form of slavery which leads to self censorship which Is, without a doubt, slavery perfected.

A REVIEW OF COBRA GYPSIES - THE KALBELIYA

I reviewed this documentary years back in 2015, but I would like to revisit it today for the enjoyment of my new readers. Cobra Gypsies, offers a contemporary and colorful window to the amazing ancient culture of the nomadic Kalbeliya tribes, living in rural Rajasthan, Northern India. The film explores their culture of eternal dance, syncopated music, snake charming, colorful fashion and the nomadic way of life of these exotic looking castoffs, ancestors to the modern Roma Gypsies living in Europe today.

KALBELIYA , COBRA GYPSIES


Cobra Gypsies seems like an amazing accidental ethnographic film and it is reminiscent of the aesthetics utilized by Nouvelle Vague visual anthropology filmmaker, Jean Rouch on documentaries like "Me a Black" (Moi, un Noir)"  but in a more transparent factual way.



Although, the Kalbeliyas posed for the camera like for a fashion editorial spread, the action permeates ingenuity and sets a frank connection between the Kalbeliyas subjects and the audience.




Raphael Treza, a French musician and filmmaker, creates in Cobra Gypsies not only a compelling documentary with an outstanding soundtrack, but a colorful digital postcard like a journal, postmarked in Rajasthan for the whole world to see. 

In 2010, the Kalbeliyas folk songs and dances of Rajasthan were declared a part of the Intangible Heritage List by the UNESCO.
