Wednesday, 24th April, the Smala Cinema joins the Millenium Festival to present the documentary film "Black Harvest". The screening will be followed by a discussion with anthropologists and filmmakers.
A film by Robin Anderson and Bob Connolly - Australia - 1992 - 90 minutes
Joe Leahy is mixed-race between Papuan and Australian. At the dawn of the 1990s, he is a prosperous agricultural entrepreneur who has managed to reconcile his two cultures. He makes a proposal to the Ganigas tribe: they will work with him to produce a huge coffee crop.
A cult documentary, one of the world's most celebrated, Black Harvest is a contemporary tragedy, the film of a striking encounter between a traditional society and economic liberalism, as well as a portrait of a man torn between two cultures. Black Harvest profoundly changed documentary film, and is often cited as one of the most engaging examples of the narrative power of direct cinema.
