| Description: | CINETOPICALITIES IN BRIEF (NO. 69) Pagan ceremony in Bavaria In a village in the Bavarian Alps in Germany we see men on stilts and wearing costumes that look like a cross between Morris dancing gear and traditional lederhosen. Commentator explains this is part of an ancient pagan ceremony. A man in a strange pointy hat (no stilts) dances about. Men wearing elaborate head-dresses twirl around to traditional music; more men dance about with giant stars on their heads. | |
