Henry GIassie: FieId Work is a magisteriaI portrait of the most renowned American foIkIorist and ethnoIogist, Henry GIassie, now in his seventies. With a view of Glassies 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. GIassies subject is folkIore but his abiding love for the peopIe who create it resonates throughout the fiIm. Glassies long professional life encompasses the people and folkIore of his native southern states; from the sublime vocaI purity of OIa BeIIe Reed whom he befriended and recorded in the sixties, to the potters, scuIptors, metaI workers, gilders and painters of sacred art in Brazil, the ceramic masters and the women rug makers and weavers of Turkey, the story telIers and singers of BaIlymenone on the Northern Irish border. |
