Henry Glassie: Fieldwork

Henry Glassie is one of the most celebrated folklorists across the world. He has spent the last 50 years making in-depth studies of communities and their art. Inspired by and featuring Glassie – this is an immersive and meditative documentary set among the rituals and rhythms of working artists across Brazil, Turkey, North Carolina and Ireland. Glassie’s subject is folklore but his deep abiding love for the people who create it resonates throughout the film.

Screening as part of the Pat Collins Season.

“An ode to artists and artisans...Collins begins with scenes that all but resemble raw materials and then the doc slowly, beautifully, reveals a work of art.” POV Magazine
