Long Time No See (Sjöberg, 2001) Clip 2′ 46” (Extract)

Long Time No See (Sjöberg, 2001) Clip 2′ 46” (Extract)

Long Time No See (Sjöberg, 2001) was produced as a part of a Masters Degree in Visual Anthropology at the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology at the University of Manchester, exploring reflexivity in ethnographic filmmaking. In 1992 I worked at an orphanage in Guatemala. Nine years later I returned with a video camera to find out what had happened to the children that I once looked after. A personal testimony, the film faces up to some painful truths about the work of foreign volunteers. The research context of the film explored epistemological implications, when the filmmaker use himself as a vehicle to mediate ethnographic knowledge to the audience through reflexive, autobiographical and self-confessional documentary forms.

Secrets of the Talking Jaguar
Secrets of the Talking Jaguar This powerful memoir of an American who was adopted by a shaman and allowed to study the secrets of a Tzutujil Mayan village in deepest Guatemala “offers readers a privileged and rare glimpse into [the village’s] complex and spiritually rich life.” (Rocky Mountain News)

Twenty-five years ago, a young musician and painter named Mart’n Prechtel wandered through the brilliant landscapes of Mexico and Guatemala. Arriving at Santiago Atitlan, a Tzutujil Mayan village on the breathtaking shores of Lake Atitlan, Prechtel met Nicolas Chiviliu Tacaxoy–perhaps the most famous shaman in Tzutujil history–who believed Prechtel was the new student he had asked the gods to provide. For the next thirteen years, Prechtel studied the ancient Tzutujil culture and became a village chief and a famous shaman in his own right.

In Secrets of the Talking Jaguar, Prechtel brings to vivid life the sights, sounds, scents, and colors of Santiago Atitlan: its magical personalities, its beauty, its material poverty and spiritual richness, its eight-hundred-year-old rituals juxtaposed with quintessential small-town gossip. The story of his education is a tale filled with enchantment, danger, passion, and hope.

“The picture [Prechtel] creates of idyllic Indian life is so beautifully drawn that his delight in their culture becomes contagious, as does his grief when civil war creates havoc in their village.” –Publishers Weekly

Posts from Oaxaca: 'La Tinta Grita' at Fowler Museum at UCLA
In Mexico's turbulent state, woodblock prints are a means of public protest. As the title states: 'The Ink Shouts.' MEXICO'S southern state of Oaxaca has two dominant character traits. It's a hub of artistic creativity, known for the superlative caliber of its rugs, whimsical carved animals and brittle black pottery. And it's a hotbed of political discontent, a long-oppressed region whose heavily indigenous population chafes under crushing poverty, ethnic discrimination and autocratic political rule.
