Heider thoroughly updates \u003ci\u003eEthnographic Film\u003c\/i\u003e to reflect developments in the field over the three decades since its publication, focusing on the work of four seminal filmmakers--Jean Rouch, John Marshall, Robert Gardner, and Timothy Asch. He begins with an introduction to ethnographic film and a history of the medium. He then considers many attributes of ethnographic film, including the crucial need to present \"whole acts,\" \"whole bodies,\" \"whole interactions,\" and \"whole people\" to preserve the integrity of the cultural context. Heider also discusses numerous aspects of making ethnographic films, from ethics and finances to technical considerations such as film versus video and preserving the filmed record. He concludes with a look at using ethnographic film in teaching. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl G.
