This detailed and candid account of the process of making \u003ci\u003eDead Birds\u003c\/i\u003e, from the birth of the idea through filming in New Guinea to editing and releasing the finished film, is more than the chronicle of a single work. It is also a thoughtful examination of what it meant to record the moving and violent rituals of warrior-farmers in the New Guinea highlands and to present to the world a graphic story of their behavior as a window onto our own. Letters, journals, telegrams, newspaper clippings, and over 50 images are assembled to recreate a vivid chronology of events. \u003ci\u003eMaking Dead Birds\u003c\/i\u003e not only addresses the art and practice of filmmaking, but also explores issues of representation and the discovery of meaning in human lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGardner led a remarkable cast of participants on the 1961 expedition. All brought back extraordinary bodies of work. Probably most influential of all was \u003ci\u003eDead Birds\u003c\/i\u003e, which marked a sea change in nonfiction filmmaking. This book takes the reader inside the creative process of making that landmark film and offers a revealing look into the heart and mind of one of the great filmmakers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eRobert Gardner was a nonfiction filmmaker, author, and founder of the Film Study Center at Harvard.
