Untouched by the West
Raymond Depardon: Humanity in Focus
February 20 - March 4
Raymond Depardon melds fiction and documentary to striking effect in this pictorially dazzling account of a nomadic orphan who must take a stand against white colonizers who would seize his tribe’s land.
Freely adapting a 1922 novel by French colonial military officer Diego Brosset, this 2002 film by Raymond Depardon again melds fiction and documentary to striking effect. Depardon recounts the story of a nomadic orphan who finds himself taken in by a tribe of hunters; as he approaches adulthood, he must take a stand against the white colonizers who would seize the tribe’s land. This inventive, sophisticated work of historical fiction draws on the tools of documentary to obtain a pictorially dazzling account of nomadic life, cast against the vast landscape of the Sahara Desert.
