Selected film references

This filmography is not intended to be a systematic catalogue, but merely a listing of the films that are referred to at some length in this book. The listing is alphabetically by title, but disregarding definite and indefinite articles if these form part of the title (i.e. ‘The’, ‘A’, ‘An’ or foreign language equivalents). When foreign films have an established name in English, I use that by preference and give the original name in parentheses, if known, for example, Chronicle of a Summer (Chronique d’un été). When foreign films do not have an established name in English, I may offer a translation in parentheses. If the title is one proposed by the original production entity, it is indicated in italics, for example, Pour la suite du monde (For The Ones To Come) . If the translation is my own, it is not in italics, for example, Rituais e Festas Borôro (Bororo Rituals and Festivals).

The entries should not be regarded as definitive. Many of the details in the sources are contradictory: some sources date films from the year of production, others from year of release. In this listing, I have aimed to give the year of release, but release dates may vary from one country to another, or a film may have been released several times in slightly different forms. There is often a contradiction between the year indicated on the film itself and the year given in accompanying literature or on the DVD case. In this instance, I have generally preferred the year given on the film. Running times and even titles may also vary for a range of different reasons. In many instances, I have made a judgement as to which source of information is most likely to be correct, but I certainly cannot guarantee to have always got it right.

Nor are the entries comprehensive. In general, I list only the director(s) of the film, though when there has been a consultant anthropologist and I know their name, I include them as well, indicated by the abbreviaton ‘Anth.:’. Where I know the film to have been part of a series of some kind, or a television ‘strand’ (a recurrent series of series, continuing over several years) I list that too. All the films should be presumed to be in colour, unless it is indicated that they are monochrome by the abbreviation ‘b&w’ (i.e. black and white). Similarly, all films should be assumed to have sound unless indicated to the contrary.

Often the entity responsible for the production is not clear from the sources, nor from the film itself: here too, I have often made what is only a partially informed judgement as to the entity principally responsible. When a film is distributed by an agency that I know to be different from the production entity, I include that as well, indicated by the abbreviation ‘Dist.’. A given film may be distributed by more than one agency but in most instances, I give only the one best known to me or most likely to be accessible to readers of this book. Many early films can be accessed through my own website, The Silent Time Machine, at www.silenttimemachine.net.

A number of production or distribution agencies recur frequently in the listing, and I refer to them by the following acronyms or abbreviations:

AIAS/AIATSIS – Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies, which in 1989 became the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.

ANU – Department of Anthropology, Research School of Pacific Studies, Australian National University, Canberra.

BFI – the national British Film Institute, which distributes films both online and in the form of DVDs. One can access the BFI archives at www.bfi.org.uk/archive-collections.

CNC (Centre national du cinéma) – this includes the French national film archive which holds a large collection of early films of ethnographic interest, many of which have been digitised. The online catalogue can be consulted via www.cnc-aff.fr/internet_cnc/Home.aspx?Menu=MNU_ACCUEIL.

CNRS Images – the audiovisual department of the French national research institute, the Centre National de Recherches Scientifiques. See http://videotheque.cnrs.fr/ for a complete listing of ethnographic films available online or in the form of DVDs.

DER – Documentary Educational Resources, based in Watertown, on the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Founded by ethnographic film-makers John Marshall and Timothy Asch in 1968. For a comprehensive listing of films distributed by DER, see www.der.org. Many of their films are also distributed through the online streaming platform, Kanopy, at www.kanopy.com.

Penn Museum – this is the abbreviated name of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. This museum offers a substantial archive of films of ethnographic interest online, most of which it produced itself. See https://archive.org/details/UPMAA_films&tab=collection.

NFB/ONF – National Film Board/Office National du Film, Canada. Many of their films are now available online at www.nfb.ca or through the Kanopy on-line streaming platform at www.kanopy.com.

RAI (UK) – Royal Anthropological Institute, based in London, UK (not to be confused with RAI – Radiotelevisione italiana, the Italian state broadcasting company). For a comprehensive listing of films distributed by the Royal Anthropological Institute, see www.rai.org.uk/film.
