Cannibal Tours is a 1988 documentary film by Australian director and cinematographer Dennis O Rourke . While it borrows heavily from ethnographic modes of representation, the film is a biting commentary on the nature of modernity. The film follows a number of European ethnic groups European and United States American ecotourism ecotourists as they travel from village to village throughout the Sepik River area in Papua New Guinea , driving hard bargains for local handcrafted items, paying to view formerly sacred ceremonies and taking photographs of every aspect of primitive life. With some prodding, the tourists unwittingly reveal an unattractive and pervasive ethnocentrism to O Rourke s cameras. The tourists thus become somewhat dehumanized by the camera, even as the tourists themselves are busy exoticizing even the most mundane aspects of Sepik River life. The title of the film can be read in at least a couple of ways. At one point early in the film, a German tourist, clearly titillated, describes the bygone practice of raiding and cannibalism . Cannibalism, the viewer also learns, was highly symbolic and often involved taking and wearing the skins of the victims. The film closes on a group of tourists who have painted their faces in native fashion and ape fierce gestures at one another as they dance.
