The Lion Hunters
80 minutes
Ethnographic filmmaker Jean Rouch, one of the guiding spirits of the French New Wave, directed this classic 1965 account of lion hunting on the border between Niger and Mali. In a fascinating manner the film broaches issues of how to represent its subjects as the hunters recount their adventures after their return.
Also on the program: Rouch's short film Mammy Water (1955). Sun 1/20, 5 Pm, and Thu 1/24, 7:45 PM.
