518    Originally produced by Documentary Educational Resources 
       in 1981. 
520    A Balinese Trance Seance - Bringing offerings of rice, 
       flowers, and woven coconut leaves, clients visit Jero in 
       her household shrine to determine the cause of their son's
       death. Jero lights an incense brazier, sprinkles holy 
       water, and recites mantras as preliminaries to trance. 
       Several ancestors and finally the young son speak through 
       her voice, revealing the nature of his premature death 
       (witchcraft) and his wishes for cremation. In contrast to 
       other films about Balinese trance which focus on 
       spectacular, community performances, this film provides an
       intimate view of a fascinating process of communication 
       between Jero, the spirits, and her clients who are at one 
       point moved to tears. Jero on Jero: A Balinese Trance 
       Seance Observed - In 1980, anthropologist Linda Connor and
       filmmakers Tim and Patsy Asch returned to Bali with video 
       cassette recordings of A Balinese Trance Seance. The 
       resulting film presents some of her reactions to Connor as
       she watched and listened to herself for the first time. 
       Jero had a unique opportunity to spontaneously and 
       consciously react to and reflect upon the experience of 
       possession. Her comments provide insight into how she 
       feels while possessed, her understanding of sorcery, and 
       her humility in the presence of the supernatural world. 
       More mundane thoughts are revealed as well, for example 
       the importance of the fine appearance of her house. Jero 
       On Jero could most fruitfully be used as a companion to A 
       Balinese Trance Seance, which would be shown first and 
       followed by a discussion, before screening Jero Tapakan's 
       own response.
