Pygmies of the Rain Forest Kevin Duffy, 1975

Questions to consider in your 1-2 page critique:

  • where do we see concurrence with The Forest People, contradiction?
  • what does this film tell us about the film maker,  Kevin Duffy?
  • What does it tell us about ourselves?
  • Do we "suspend disbelief" in this film, as Titon argues?
  • is this a "good story" are the Mbuti coming to life for us?
  • how do the "rhetorical conventions" play out in this film?
  • who has "authority" in this film?
  • who is the target audience?
