Society for Visual Anthropology/American Anthropological Association
1st Annual Film and Video Festival"
The Society for Visual Anthropology is pleased to announce Reliving the Past: Alonzo Pond and the 1930 Logan African Expedition has received an AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE in the First Annual Film and Video Festival in 1986."
We commend the video production, Reliving the Past: Alonzo Pond and the 1930 Logan African Expedition, as a personal, cultural, and historical record of our discipline. It integrates contemporary views and methodology into the record and achieves technical excellence in the use of historic footage. Current interviews are responsibly used to create a sense of the time-scale of the personal lives of the researchers and the cross-cultural context of early fieldwork as integral parts of the on-going process of the research itself. It is a long documentary worthy of being shown in introductory and advanced courses in archeology and anthropology, and museum studies."
Each of the nine films selected for an award in 1986 has made a contribution to the discipline of anthropology and visual anthropology, and exhibits a high degree of professionalism. We are pleased to reward excellence in a variety of anthropological goals and objectives, valuing the long as well as the short, the low-budget as well as the institutionally supported, the experimental as well as the traditional film approaches."
