| Description: | Races; boats and ships. Pathe's title (& only info) is "native boat race"-- they dont say what natives; but it seems to be somewhere in southeast asia; possibly one of the british colonies. Large crews row long boats on a wide river; moving toward left. Some of the crews row while standing; others sit. Boats have various animal figures carved on front. Shot of one of the boats passing a large ship. Boats approaching; pan over to anchored ship; some asian sailors on shore. A crowd at water's edge; people in the boats and on the beach; all sorts of people--some look indian; some more asian; a very dark skinned man passes in fg. Imperialism; colonialism: cu 3 european men in white uniforms -- army or colonial officials--stand together; a local ruler or important man of some sort walks in front; and on toward camera -- he looks chinese; wears robe; crown; medals. Shot of a crowd of people all walking toward right: all sorts of people; some buddhist monks; some girls; women in shiny tight jewelled costume and white face powder like temple dancers; other people carry miniature temples; and the majority are just walking along. Possibly some religious festival. | |
