Jim Hannon's documentary tells the remarkable true story of a series of life-changing encounters that occurred between the reclusive Waodani tribe and Christian missionaries from the West. The Waodani--known for their penchant for violence--speared to death a group of five missionaries who attempted to contact them. In the years that followed, relatives of the slain bravely tried again to reach out to the tribe, and this time their efforts were successful. A powerful, thought-provoking story about love, forgiveness, and the boundaries that exist between cultures. Jim Hanon---USA---2004---96 mins.

Famed ethnographic director Robert Gardner made this short film in 1951 when he was still a graduate student of Anthropology at the University of Washington in Seattle. It's a vivid document of a small village on the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, inhabited by a handful of impoverished Kwakiutl Indians who managed to subsist through fishing and gathering. It's one of the few authentic accounts of a vanished people, and it demonstrates the stylistic direction that Gardner would take in films like Robert Gardner---USA---1951---22 mins.

Werner Herzog likes dragging things where they don't belong, and to great effect: cannons pulled through the rainforest; a steamboat hoisted over a mountain; and here, an hi-def 3D camera brought deep into the noxious Chauvet Cave in southern France to photograph some of the oldest cave paintings known to man. It's an awesome art history lesson.

Robert Gardner's fascinating and influential 1964 documentary follows a New Guinea tribesman, a member of the war-like Dani people.

Added to the National Film Registry in 1998, the film is considered a landmark of Robert Gardner---USA---1964---84 mins.

For this 12-part ethnographic film, Nikolaus Geyrhalter traveled to 12 remote geographic regions around the globe over the course of the year 2000 with a simple goal: document how distant people and places existed at the beginning of the 21st century. From the Tuareg roaming the Sahara desert in Niger to the Inuit hunting seal off Thule, Greenland, Elsewhere makes the trip and provides the footage for us, all free of narration, excessive editing, and the fetishization of "the exotic" or "the other" that's common in many travelogues. "A poignant and incisive expression of a forgotten people's sense of place in an increasingly alienating and myopic global environment--the residual imprint, not of the dawning of a new era, but its casted twilight" (Strictly Film School). With English subtitles.
