Abstract:
In an era of globalization, the preservation of indigenous traditions becomes crucial. The Baduy
community in Ciboleger Village, Leuwidamar District, exemplifies cultural preservation
through their distinct Baduy attire, symbolizing cultural fidelity. Contrasted with urban
societiesinfluenced by global fashion, the Baduy embody simplicity, harmony with nature, and
cultural resilience. This dichotomy highlights how attire reflects cultural values and societal
identities. The documentary dissects clothing's cultural significance through thematic directing,
segmenting the narrative into introductions, developments, and conclusions, and exploring
traditional Baduy life alongside modern urbanity. By comparing the simplicity and connection
to nature embodied in Baduy traditional attire with the evolving trends and utilitarian aspects
of modern fashion, the film sparksintrospection on cultural identity in the face of globalization.
It underscores the importance of embracing and valuing cultural diversity while navigating the
challenges of modernity, deepening understanding of contemporary society's intricacies.
Employing thematic theory, the film effectively connects the chosen thematic concepts with
the subject matter, offering a comprehensive analysis of the Baduy tribe's cultural identity
within the context of contemporary fashion trends and global influences.
