I AM NOT SCARED OF THE NIGHT presents shamanistic rituals from Nepal. Syafrubesi is a village situated just 13 kilometers from the Chinese border, on a start of the popular trekking routes to Gosaikunda and Lantang. It is an area packed with culture, which may not be immediately visible to passers-by.
Fortunate to be able to experience a close relationship with the Bompos or Jhankris (shamans) who congregate in Syafrubesi, which is considered a spiritual focal point for the Bompo, I was privileged to witness various shamanic rituals special healing procedures, pujas to remove obstacles and exorcisms. This documentary work highlights the importance of the Bompo rituals in their everyday life.
