Dig These Films
North America’s first archaeology
film festival happens right here.
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.
