Mirroring Mead: Filming Culture in Anthropology

How do you capture a culture on film? Start by creating your own visual short! Explore films

screened at past Margaret Mead Film Festivals and learn about the methodology of

ethnographic film while creating a short “mini-doc” using the American Museum of Natural

History as your field site.

In addition to her work as a curator and researcher at the American Museum of Natural History,

Margaret Mead was a pioneer in the use of film and photography as a medium for cross-cultural

understanding and communication. Mead’s legacy in visual anthropology has continued with the

Margaret Mead Film Festival, started in 1977and still running strong today. Learn how

anthropologists continue a tradition that shapes how we see our world, and be a part of the

visual conversation!
