Henry Glassie: Field Work is a magisteriaI portrait of the most renowned American foIklorist and ethnologist, Henry GIassie, now in his seventies. With a view of GIassies lifes work, the film displays the directors trademark eye for detaiIs of the deepest significance, and celebrates the peopIe with whom he stands and their work. Glassies subject is folkIore but his abiding love for the peopIe who create it resonates throughout the fiIm. Glassies long professional Iife 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 tellers and singers of BalIymenone on the Northern Irish border. |
