Appendix 4: 'Biola in the Riau Islands: Reefs, Winds and Sea Currents', Film Documentary (11 minutes) November 2018.

This is the first ever film produced on the history of the traditional and contemporary performing arts of Indonesia’s Riau Islands’ province, specifically tracing the so-far little-known history of the violin (called biola in Indonesian language) and its essential place in the music, dance and theatre of the Islands. It brings together original footage of performances and interviews with local musicians and artists, and information from a handful of international academics currently researching the Riau Islands’ performing arts.The original footage of the film was taken largely by Karen Kartomi Thomas with some excerpts kindly provided from other researchers. The making of the film would not have been possible without the direction, knowledge and skills of many experts including film editor and ethnomusicologist, Dr. Salva Rossano, and producer, ethnomusicologist, and advisor to the contents of the film, Prof. M. Kartomi.This item is referenced in Margaret Kartomi (ed), Performing the Arts of Indonesia: Malay Identity and Politics in the Music, Dance and Theatre of the Riau Islands, Copenhagen: Nias Press, 2019.

这是首部聚焦印尼廖内群岛省传统与当代表演艺术历史的影片，专门追溯了迄今鲜为人知的小提琴（印尼语称为biola）及其在该群岛音乐、舞蹈与戏剧中的核心地位。影片汇集了表演原始镜头、对当地音乐家与艺术家的访谈，以及目前研究廖内群岛表演艺术的少数国际学者提供的信息。影片原始镜头主要由Karen Kartomi Thomas拍摄，部分片段由其他研究者友情提供。若无众多专家的指导、知识与技能支持，本片的制作无法完成，这些专家包括电影剪辑师兼民族音乐学家Salva Rossano博士，以及制片人、民族音乐学家兼影片内容顾问M. Kartomi教授。本作品被收录于Margaret Kartomi（编）的《表演印尼艺术：廖内群岛音乐、舞蹈与戏剧中的马来身份与政治》一书，哥本哈根：Nias出版社，2019年。
