> 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.
