4.9/5 (28730 ratings)

Description:The first silent feature film with an "all Indian" cast and a surviving original orchestral score, Edward Curtis's 1914 "In the Land of the Head Hunters" was a landmark of early cinema. Influential but often neglected in historical accounts, this spectacular melodrama was an intercultural product of Curtis's encounter and collaboration with the Kwakwaka'wakw of British Columbia.In recognition of the film's centennial, and alongside the release of a restored version, "Return to the Land of the Head Hunters" brings together leading anthropologists, Native American authorities, artists, musicians, literary scholars, and film historians to reassess the film and its legacy. The volume offers unique Kwakwaka'wakw perspectives on the film, accounts of its production and subsequent circulation, and evaluations of its depictions of cultural practice.Like his photographs, Curtis's motion picture was meant to document a supposedly vanishing race. But as this collection shows, the film is not simply an artifact of colonialist nostalgia. Resituated within film history and informed by a legacy of Kwakwaka'wakw participation and response, the movie offers dynamic evidence of ongoing cultural survival and transformation under shared conditions of modernity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
