A reflection on filming in rural Senegal and a critic of the anthropological eye.

“With uncanny eloquence, “Reassemblage” distills sounds and images of Senegalese villagers and their surroundings to reconsider the premises and methods of ethnographic filmmaking. By disjunctive editing and a probing narration this ‘documentary’ strikingly counterpoints the authoritative stance typical of the National Geographic approach.” — Laura Thielan
