The Man with Two Wives - A Tai Lue Folktale (as told by Singkham Keophanya)

This film was produced through the Women and Folktales Project, a joint initiative of the Luang Prabang Film Festival (www.lpfilmfest.org) and the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (www.taeclaos.org), funded by the Small Grants Program of the US Embassy in Vientiane.
Women are important storytellers and bearers of cultural heritage in Laos. However, their voices are rarely heard outside their communities, and traditional folktales and legends are in danger of dying out. This project was conceived to empower ethnic minority women in Laos by documenting, disseminating, and celebrating their traditional stories using film.
This is a traditional Tai Lue folktale, told by Singkham Keophanya in Nayang Tai Village, Luang Prabang Province, Lao PDR. January 2015.
Filmed by Lao New Wave Cinema.
A Lao subtitled version is available here: • ຜູ້ຊາຍທີ່ມີເມຍສອງຄົນ (...
