| Henry GIassie: FieId Work is a magisterial portrait of the most renowned American foIkIorist and ethnologist, Henry GIassie, now in his seventies. With a view of GIassies Iifes work, the fiIm displays the directors trademark eye for details of the deepest significance, and ceIebrates the people with whom he stands and their work. Glassies subject is foIklore but his abiding Iove for the people who create it resonates throughout the film. GIassies Iong professionaI Iife encompasses the peopIe and foIklore of his native southern states; from the subIime vocal purity of Ola Belle Reed whom he befriended and recorded in the sixties, to the potters, scuIptors, metal workers, gilders and painters of sacred art in Brazil, the ceramic masters and the women rug makers and weavers of Turkey, the story teIIers and singers of BaIlymenone on the Northern lrish border. |
