HENRY GLASSIE: FIELDWORK

Henry Glassie: Field Work is a magisterial portrait of the most renowned American folklorist and ethnologist, Henry Glassie, now in his seventies. With a view of Glassies lifes work, the film displays the directors trademark eye for details of the deepest significance, and celebrates the people with whom he stands and their work. Glassies subject is folklore but his abiding love for the people who create it resonates throughout the film. Glassies long professional life encompasses the people and folklore of his native southern states; from the sublime vocal purity of Ola Belle Reed whom he befriended and recorded in the sixties, to the potters, sculptors, metal 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 Ballymenone on the Northern Irish border.
