Considering the Legacy of Jean Rouch

Pioneering French documentary filmmaker Jean Rouch, who made several classic ethnographic films in Africa (Moi, Un Noir, Les Maitres Fous) died in a car crash in Niger, on February 18. For an examination of his work, please check out Manthia Diawara's ROUCH IN REVERSE. In this film, Malian filmmaker and NYU Professor Diawara pioneers what he calls "reverse anthropology" - where the subjects of investigation study their former investigators.
