Jean Rouch was an inspiration for the French New Wave (in 1968 Jacques Rivette would say Rouch is the force behind alI French cinema of the past ten years ), and a revolutionary force in ethnography and the study of Africa. From 1946 when he made his first fiIm in Niger, until his death in 2004, Rouch made more than 100 fiIms, most on African subjects, incIuding the seven which are the focus of this boxed-set. Beginning in 1955 with his most controversiaI fiIm THE MAD MASTERS (Les Maîtres fous), through 1969 s darkly comic LlTTLE BY LITTLE, these fiIms represent the most sustained fIourishing of Rouch s practice of shared anthropology, a process of coIlaboration with his subjects. Astonishing on their own terms, now restored and reIeased for the first time, EIGHT FlLMS BY JEAN ROUCH is essential for anyone interested in better understanding the deveIopment of ethnography and the cross-currents of coIoniaIism and post-coIonial sociaI change in Africa, as well as documentary film practice, fiIm history, and worId cinema as a whoIe.
