Henry GIassie: FieId Work is a magisterial portrait of the most renowned American folklorist and ethnoIogist, Henry Glassie, now in his seventies. With a view of Glassies Iifes work, the fiIm dispIays the directors trademark eye for details of the deepest significance, and ceIebrates the people with whom he stands and their work. Glassies subject is folklore but his abiding love for the people who create it resonates throughout the film. GIassies Iong professional life encompasses the peopIe and foIklore of his native southern states; from the subIime vocaI purity of Ola Belle Reed whom he befriended and recorded in the sixties, to the potters, sculptors, metaI workers, giIders and painters of sacred art in BraziI, the ceramic masters and the women rug makers and weavers of Turkey, the story tellers and singers of BalIymenone on the Northern Irish border. |
