| Résumé : | Jean Rouch's activities (1955-1973), with UNESCO's backing, in the Comité international du film ethnographique are not well known. Thanks to his initiatives, the first film-making anthropologists were able to show their work and discuss it in Paris, Brussels, Prague, Venice, Florence and Locarno. Along with the sociologist Edgar Morin (with whom he made Chronique d'un été), Rouch helped found the Festival of Peoples (Florence), devoted to anthropological and sociological films. Closely associated with Rouch during this venture, Luc de Heusch recalls the happenings that surrounded the birth of visual anthropology. |
