Description 1 online resource (1 streaming video (27 min.)) Series Ethnographic video online Summary Filmmaker Jean Rouch improvises a new commentary for his first film made in 1947, "In the land of the Black Magi" (Au pays des mages noirs). He explains the sacrifices he made due to the producer ; his footage was re-edited with a new ending, new titles, stock footage, "tropical muzak," and a newsreel-style narration heavy on drama and highlighting the exotic. Here the insight of Rouch emerges as he "finishes" and restores the film, improvising a new commentary and transforming it into a new form in which the film's true meaning is illuminated and the humanity of the subjects restored Credits Director, Dominique Dubosc Event Originally produced in 1991 by Kinofilm, with La Sept and CNC Notes In French with English subtitles Print version record Subject Rouch, Jean -- Interviews Rouch, Jean.
