Description

The Cinema of John Marshall is a comprehensive exploration of the pioneering ethnographic filmmaker's life, art, and four decades of work documenting the San peoples of South Africa. This groundbreaking study weaves together Marshall's autobiographical reflections, political economy of San dispossession, historical narratives, and detailed expositions of film techniques and film language. Spanning from his 1957 award-winning film The Hunters to his ongoing projects like Death by Myth, the book offers the first English-language examination of Marshall's revolutionary contributions to ethnographic cinema. Published by Routledge, it combines personal accounts of historical significance with rigorous analysis of his filmmaking methods, making it essential reading for scholars of visual anthropology, documentary film, and ethnographic studies.

Key Features

The Cinema of John Marshall includes an autobiographical essay by Marshall himself assessing his extensive career in ethnographic filmmaking and documentary production.

This Routledge publication integrates political economy, history, ethnography, and personal narratives spanning Marshall's forty-year involvement with the San peoples.

The book examines Marshall's landmark 1957 film The Hunters and traces his evolving film techniques and language through current work in progress.

Written as the first English-language study of Marshall's life and artistic legacy, the book serves scholars in visual anthropology, film history, and documentary studies.
