History of the Mead
The American Museum of Natural Historyıs Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival
is the longest-running showcase for international documentaries in the
United States. Encompassing a broad spectrum of work, from indigenous
community media to experimental nonfiction, the Festival is distinguished by
its outstanding selection of titles, which tackle diverse and challenging
subjects, representing a range of issues and perspectives, and by the forums
for discussion with filmmakers and speakers.
The Mead was founded by the American Museum of Natural History in 1977, in
honor of pioneering anthropologist Margaret Mead on her seventy-fifth
birthday and her fiftieth year at the Museum. A film festival represented an
especially apt form with which to celebrate Mead's life, as she was one of
the first anthropologists to recognize the significance of film for
fieldwork. To this day, the Festival continues to extend Mead's vision of
bringing important topics and viewpoints to a general public.
Organized by the Museumıs Public Programs Division in the Department of
Education, the Festival is held each November as well as a Traveling
Festival, which includes a selection of titles from the Festival. The
Traveling Festival screens at museums, universities and theaters throughout
the United States and abroad.
