Jona Film Production, recently took to social media to make an official announcement of the third instalment of the Ples Man franchise, titled ‘Plesman 3: Wigman’.

According to Jona Film Production’s Facebook post, the third film is different because it will be a ‘pure cinematic feature film’ unlike Ples Man 1 & 2 which were educational films.

Additionally, Ples Man 3 will be produced not only to meet international standards but also to showcase Papua New Guinea’s unique beauty and culture.

“This country is rich not only because of its natural resources but because we have unique traditions, customs, and identities found nowhere else on Earth.”

Though the title indicates the central focus is the Huli/Wigman people, the post explained that the film represents every Papua New Guinean tribe.

Jona Film Production emphasized the importance of the film demonstrating the significance of preserving cultural practices.

“Culture is not something we inherit automatically it is something we must protect, teach, and pass on.”

Corporate companies, government agencies, and NGOs are invited to participate and be involved in Ples Man 3’s production.
