I f you’ve had your fill of smash ‘em up, bang ‘em up, nitro-powered block- buster movies this summer, then con- sider a more refined cinematic experience: The Archaeology Channel’s International Film and Video Festival, July 16-19 at the McDonald Theatre. Archaeology? Yes, that’s right, a film fest based on stories of ar- chaeology and indigenous peoples; a festi- val that will bring together 64 films and videos from 19 different nations, including India, Thailand, Egypt, South Africa and Spain. To provide a little background: The Archaeology Channel is an Internet website (www.archaeologychannel.com) produced by the Archaeology Legacy Institute (ALI), a Eugene-based nonprofit founded in 1999. Richard Pettigrew, ALI founder, presi- dent and executive director, and an estab- lished archaeologist, says, “I was tired of seeing all my work turned into reports sitting on dusty old shelves.” He knew there must be a way to share that information with an audience beyond “just archaeologists.” One of the main goals of ALI has been to cultivate the online Archaeology Channel to reach that broader audience, offering films, news, commentary and interactive programs all relating to archaeology, or as Pettigrew describes the discipline, “the residue of hu- manity.” The upcoming film fest, says Pettigrew, grew out of interest in the site and follows an international trend toward such events. “Archaeology films and film festivals have been popular in Europe … This is the first festival ever in North America,” he says. Twenty films will be shown on the big screen at McDonald Theatre. The remaining films will be available for viewing at a “video bar.” There will also be two keynote speakers: Jean Clottes, Ph.D., leading expert on prehistoric rock art and widely known for his work at Chauvet Cave, site of the oldest known European cave art, will offer the opening keynote speech Wednesday evening. Brian Fagan, Ph.D., leading archae- ological writer and consultant to National Geographic Society, Time/Life, Encyclopedia Britannica, Microsoft Encarta, as well as a number of television www.eugeneweekly.com programs, will offer the closing keynote ad- dress Saturday evening. There will be semi- nars, lectures, teacher workshops, social events, guided field trips to nearby archaeo- logical sites, children’s activities and other hands-on opportunities. This is set up to be an activity not only for adults, but also for children and families. The films themselves are not just about people digging in the dirt, but employ a range of storytelling techniques to tell of pursuit and discovery, of cultures changed and cultures lost. The film Lost Days of Zeugma (Wed., July 16), follows a team of archaeologists, epigraphists and ceramic specialists who race to uncover what they can of the ancient city of Zeugma, one of the Roman Empire’s most important towns. The race is on be- cause construction of a dam on the Euphrates River in southeastern Turkey will forever submerge Zeugma under water. The time-running-out-factor gives a great ur- gency to the film; and there is a particularly beautiful, revelatory moment when the team makes a big find — that moment makes you grieve for what will be lost when the site is flooded. Actually, Lost Days of Zeugma does look like people digging holes in the ground, but the festival also offers animated films, docu- mentaries and historical re-creations. Ground Zero/Sacred Ground (Fri., July 18) is a heavily lauded film that uses animation and music — no text or voices — to explore the intertwining relationship and conflict be- tween the Three Rivers Native American rock art site and the White Sandia Missile Range 35 miles away. Handmade: Three Stories from Guatemala (Wed., July 16) is a charmer about a young aspiring Guatemalan journalist, Saul Roblero, who sets out on the countryside, determined to have the indige- nous Maya people tell their own stories. Return to Belaye (Sat., July 19) and A Kalahari Family, Part 2 (Thurs., July 17) and Part 5 (Fri., July 18), explore the myths, mysteries and nuances of indigenous African cultures.
