2011 marks our 42nd year as a producer, distributor and sponsor of some of the most unique documentary films about people and culture available today. We have invested in our original collections so that classic films shot 60 or more years ago in 16mm are still accessible on DVD or streaming video via the web.

In addition to !e Odyssey Series, for the first time on DVD is the film work of Richard Broadman, an uncompromising, independent film- maker whose work has shed light on important political and social issues for more than three decades. Broadman died at the age of 53 in January 2000. His work has found an appropriate home here along- side that of two other prominent film pioneers recently added to DER’s collection: George Stoney and Jorge Prelorán.

DER’s approach to distribution continues to provide opportunities for in-depth research not only into the subject ma!er of our films, but into the very art and act of filmmaking and documentation. Even films that stir controversy open up exciting possibilities for self- examination and change. Secrets of the Tribe, Brazilian filmmaker José Padilha’s disturbing look at the nature and practice of anthropology is just such a film and we look forward to the discussions it will generate in the academic community.

DER continues to present provocative films that we hope will provide some answers but will also ask new questions to be addressed by future generations.

RETURN TO THE LAND OF SOULS

@ek_\jflk_\Xjk@mfip:fXjk# some Akan communities still make contact with their ances- tral spirits through priests who become possessed by the spirits of the Forest and the Waters. A writer from the Ivory Coast, Jean Marie Addiaffi (1941-1999), fought to conserve their rich oral literature, myths and legends, as well as their knowledge and uses of the plants. In this stunning film, one of her disciples a!ends the initia- tion rites of those chosen by the spirits and witnesses one of them proclaimed as the new Komian or high animistic priest.

In the 1960s and '70s, anthropologists filed into the Amazon Basin to observe this “virgin” society. Thirty years later, the events surrounding this infiltration have become a scandalous tale of academic ethics and infighting. Heated disputes on the origins of violence and war and the accuracy of data gathering descend into allegations of sexual and medical violation. Allowing professors accused of heinous activities to defend themselves, and the Yanomamo to present their side of the story, this riveting excavation deconstructs anthropology's colonial legacy and challenges our society's myths of objectivity and the very notion of “the other.”
