[Anthropgrad] RSVP Reminder - Launch of New Film

[Jodi Parvey]

The Research School of Humanities invites you to the launch of

SchoolScapes
A new film by David MacDougall

Awarded the Basil Wright Film Prize at the 2007 
Royal Anthropological Institute International Festival of Ethnographic Film

5.30 pm, Monday 29 October 2007

The Theatrette, Old Canberra House
The Australian National University

  Inspired by the cinema of Lumière and the ideas 
of the 20th century Indian thinker Krishnamurti, 
David MacDougall explores in his new film a 
famous progressive school in South India, the 
Rishi Valley School. This is a film dedicated to 
the simple act of looking, in which each scene is a single shot.

Since completing the Doon School Quintet, his 
series of films about an elite boys’ boarding 
school in North India, MacDougall has turned his 
attention to other institutions for children in 
India.  The coeducational Rishi Valley School in 
Andhra Pradesh was founded on the educational 
principles espoused by Jiddu Krishnamurti, who 
stressed the importance of observing the world 
around us more calmly and simply, as if with 
fresh eyes.  SchoolScapes was made in this spirit.

To be launched by Dr. Debjani Ganguly, Head, 
Humanities Research Centre, Research School of 
Humanities, The Australian National University
