Frank Hurley made what is possibly the first cinematic footage of keveke masks. Keveke are similar to semese and hevehe masks. As elsewhere in the Gulf, the masks were intended to bring the spirits into the villages, where they mingled with the inhabitants. Hurley often asked local people to re-create scenes or demonstrate dances for him to photograph. He requested that these keveke be danced in front of the longhouse (daima) so that he could film them and make a still photograph.
