| Description: | FACES Sepia tinted film. CUs of various animals, then CUs of a whole lot of people from different parts of the world. Title frame full of info: Amedee J. Van Beuren presents Walter Futter's Curiosities: "Faces" First the animal part. Animals look taxidermied or fake. Titles in this part refer to evolution. CU mounted fish, side view - looks like almost all head and no body! CU front view sort of scary/funny reptilian head with grinning mouth full of teeth. CU odd little fluffy looking critter. CU monkey. CU Seminole Indian man, c. age 20, standing in front of grass roofed structure in Florida. CU Chinese man in "coolie" hat eating sugar cane. CU an elderly Venezuelan man (a gaucho according to title) wearing poncho, eating something. CU Chinese man who has strips shaved around his head so that it looks like he has 2 or more hairlines stacked on top of each other, and a little stiff brimmed hat perched up on top. CU younger man with same hairstyle. Young Inca man with stripes painted on his face, beaded necklaces. CU another boy with stripes on face. CU a third one. Each had a slightly different design. CU Chinese man laughing heartily. CU very old (age 110!) Caucasian woman. CU young Native American (North American) couple wearing traditional dress, the man with big headdress, holding feathered spear. They look at each other and smile. Another shot of the laughing Asian man; something must be really hilarious because this guy is just losing it! CU old lady again. CU man wearing turban, with beard tied or braided, holding umbrella for sunshade. Titles say he is a West Indian prince - though he looks more like a Sikh, but there are black people walking by in BG. CU Arab sheik in traditional headdress and robe, in Cairo, Egypt. He looks to rt and left, nodding, looks at camera etc. His eyes are shining in an almost demonic way! Title: "Compare those intelligent faces with the hungry and weak expression of this Chinese beggar." CU of course the "Chinese beggar", wearing fur-trimmed hat; he does not look particularly hungry or weak or unintelligent to me. "Fear in the face of this Chinese leper." CU bearded Chinese man speaking - I see neither fear nor disease. MCU 3 young West Indian African women/teenage girls; they wear cotton dresses and have chignons tied round their heads; they pose on street of town w/ hills in BG. Ethnic groups, indigenous peoples, Asians, Native Americans, South American Indians, old people, elderly, centenarians, couples | |
