Margaret Mead Film Festival

The Margaret Mead Film and Video Festival, launched every autumn at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, is an annual event for lovers of documentary film, culture, and the unexpected. Begun in 1977 as a one-time event to mark the world-famous anthropologist’s seventy-fifth birthday and her fifty years at the museum, the festival, now celebrating twenty-five years of existence, continues to promote cross-cultural understanding through cinema. This year’s selection, presented in six programs, continues to offer a broad range of documentaries from both emerging and established film and video artists from around the world.
