From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Margaret Mead Film Festival is an annual film festival held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The festival specializes in ethnographic films or the field of visual anthropology.

[edit] Background

The festival was founded in 1977 in recognition of the work of cinematic contributions of anthropologist Margaret Mead. For a number of years the USC Center for Visual Anthropology (directed by Mead's student, the late filmmaker Tim Asch) was a local host of the festival [1].
