Encountering Jean Rouch

This short film was shot in 2002 during the Bilan du Film Ethnographic. It was intended to introduce Jean Rouch at the 2003 Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival. The film captures Rouch discussing various aspects of his life, including his new marriage and his feelings about the relocation of artifacts from the Mankind Museum.

Rouch also shares insights into his anarchistic nature, dreams, and fantasies. His reflections provide a unique perspective on both his personal life and his contributions to the field of ethnographic filmmaking. Collectors of ethnographic films or those interested in Rouch's work might find this film to be a noteworthy representation of his thoughts shortly before his passing in 2004.
