In Roger Sandall's Films and Contemporary Anthropology, Lorraine
Mortimer argues that while social anthropology and documentary film
share historic roots and goals, particularly on the continent of
Australia, their trajectories have tended to remain separate. This
book reunites film and anthropology through the works of Roger
Sandall, a New Zealand–born filmmaker and Columbia University
graduate, who was part of the vibrant avant-garde and social
documentary film culture in New York in the 1960s. Mentored by
Margaret Mead in anthropology and Cecile Starr in fine arts,
Sandall was eventually hired as the one-man film unit at the newly
formed Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies in 1965. In the
1970s, he became a lecturer in anthropology at the University of
Sydney. Sandall won First Prize for Documentary at the Venice Film
Festival in 1968, yet his films are scarcely known, even in
Australia now. Mortimer demonstrates how Sandall's films continue
to be relevant to contemporary discussions in the fields of
anthropology and documentary studies. She ties exploration of the
making and restriction of Sandall's aboriginal films and his
nonrestricted films made in Mexico, Australia, and India to the
radical history of anthropology and the resurgence today of an
expanded, existential-phenomenological anthropology that
encompasses the vital connections between humans, animals, things,
and our environment.
