The Bilum Story

‘The Bilum Story’ is a 20-minute documentary showcasing the people, history and significance behind the art of Bilum weaving in Papua New Guinea.

It follows pioneers in the industry, Florence and Lina and fellow peers, and how their relationships with retailers have brought about change for them and others, and recognises the importance of continuing creative cultural industries in the Pacific.
