Immortals in the Village, Tiao da shen, 跳大神 (2017) dir. Yu Guangyi
In a cold mountain village in northeastern China, when a peasant gets sick they invite the local shaman to do trance healing. In the village there is Shaman XU, a renowned shaman in the area who is almost 70yearold. He had been a teacher in his youth and an accountant for a factory production team. In his later age, serving as a spirit medium became his profession. He beats his donkeyhide drum and sings ancient melodies, inviting all kind of spirits to come.
