Early educational films and anthropology.
Arnwine, Clark.

Early educational films and anthropology. - 56 p.

Adviser: Alexander Moore.

Thesis (M.A.)--University of Southern California, 2003.

This thesis explores aspects of anthroplogical films in the first years of the twentieth century, focusing especially on the early use of the medium of motion pictures in education. Following a brief history of silent-era non-fictional filmmaking, the emergence of the educational market for films is explored through primary documents. The specific case of the Harvard University Anthropology Department's collaboration with the film distributor Pathe in the late 1920s is examined, especially as evidenced in the educational film short The Masai. This film illustrates the intended strategies of analyzing human geography, but also reveals assumptions, biases and prejudices operative at that time. This discussion raises issues on the status of the documentary image as evidence, of the relationship of film producer to subject, and of the multiple layers of meaning embedded in the image that can work at cross purposes to intended strategies.
