The films of Philip Haas [videorecording] : magicians of the
earth / produced by Fernando Trueba and the Centre Georges
Pompidou.
New York, N.Y. : Milestone Film & Video, c1994, 1990.
A series of films on traditional art. Philip Haas has spent the
last decade making films with some of the most acclaimed
artists working today including David Hockney, Boyd Webb,
Richard Long and Gilbert & George. With his series, Magicians
of the Earth, Haas turned his attention to native artists
working in traditional forms. These four films were
photographed entirely on location in Australia, Madagascar,
Papua New Guinea, Senegal and Benin and Feature music composed
by David Byrne and Gambian musician Foday Musa Suso. These
films use sparse narration, letting the audience discover for
itself the magical transformation of the raw materials into
wondrous art. By finding the "theatricality" in each artist,
Haas constantly surprises and delights the viewer - his films
are always fresh, unexpected and visually thrilling.

Through African eyes [videorecording] / written and directed by
Aminatta Forna ; a BBC/RM Arts co-production.
New York, NY : Public Media Home Vision, c1995.
When first seen in the Western world in 1900, African art was
viewed as strange and exotic. Yet these works, the booty of
colonial wars, would influence Picasso, Matisse, and Modigliani
and change the course of 20th century art. This program, while
recognizing this impact, introduces noted experts who explain
the importance of reappraising African art within its own
cultural context. Then local Malian inhabitants in a Bamana
village and the walled city of Djenne comment on the function
of art and the role of the artist in their society.
