Spata, Saint Peter's Stew 1978

25m Documentary

The film describes the custom called "Saint Peter's Stew" and is celebrated in Spata during the feast of Peter and Paul. In the year the film was made, 1978, the performance of the custom took on a strong socio-political content. He was associated with the residents' protest movement against the government's decision to move the airport to Spata. Besides the description of the custom, the film reveals two more important points. The first is that, as anthropology also claims, customs are not simple survivals of ancient institutions but are constantly transformed, forming an operative framework, in which the social problems of the time are inscribed as content. The second is that the respective protest and resistance movements are expressed through existing social symbols changing their content.
