Chechen female mystical Sufi ceremony
Chechen female zikr...
Chechen women performing a zikr (dhikr), a Sufi mystical ceremony. By chanting certain formulas and controlling the respiration, collective trance can be achieved. These women are part of the Kunta Haji tariqa (a Sufi brotherhood/sisterhood), which in its turn is simply the local, Chechen version of the Qadiriya brotherhood, known all over the Muslim world.
Men are not allowed to watch or take part (don’t ask me how I pulled this off). As can be seen, they wait outside, in the courtyard.
The final sequence, ending on the blinding white of a soldier’s light reflector shows the atmosphere of Grozny by night on the eve of the first Russian invasion.

La Athos cu Becali (2011)
Переглядів 142 тис.8 років тому
La Athos cu Becali... 6 min. de peliculă brută, rough footage, needitată, din ce am filmat în pelerinajul pe care l-am făcut de Paşti 2011 la Muntele Athos cu Gigi Becali. Am filmat ascensiunea noastră a muntelui, cu alai de călugări și 14 măgăruși cu merinde, în ideea de a face un film, care încă nu și-a găsit forma. Întrebarea este: cum îl filmezi pe Becali? Doar cadrajul brut, fără estetism,...

This Chechen village hosts the tomb of a holy woman: the mother of Kunta Haji, the man who brought the Qadirya Sufi brotherhood in pagan Chechnya, in the XIXth century. As the imam says in the fascinating local dialect, Kunta Haji will come at the end of the world, together with Jesus, like a new Mahdi. Scenes of daily life, children, cows, snow, autarchy... Sufi Chechnya before the Russian inv...

I just love the drunk, smoking firemen, like in a scene from Mad Max, pretending to extinguish a huge bonfire at a petrol installation. After they finally put it off (with a tank shot !), we see bits of daily life in Grozny, before the city was to be obliterated by the Russian aviation, all culminating with a march of the Sufis through central Grozny. I will later post the complete collective t...

Sufi burial ceremony in the Chechen village of Mairtup After some shots of the village, the video shows a collective trance ceremony, complete with a beautiful example of male polyphony, followed by a zikr (mystical ritual), accompanied by drums and in which the women of the village also take part(!). For their peculiar use of drums, these Chechen dervishes have been called "barabanshchiki" (dr...

Chechen mystical Sufi ceremony
Переглядів 15 тис.13 років тому
Scene from the future movie A Chechen Confession, by Dan Alexe. The film decrypts the most common myths about the Chechens, including the widely accepted one about their supposed presence among anti-Western Islamist fighters in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is also a presentation of the traditional Chechen brands of Sufi Islam and of the local ceremonies. Here: the zikr of the Gunoy teip (tribe).

    At the very end of history, all that will be left of humanity will be two old jews calling each other shande far di goyim (when there will be no goyim left to worry about) and fighting over something that happened 6,000 years ago. *That* is resilience.

    The translation is wrong. Zebulon did say goy but not pimp. "Mordeh" in Persian means the dead. He accused Zebulon to swear at his wife and his dead ancestors. Plus the cameraman is also Jewish and his name is Dan.
