Interesting Bit of History

Zora Neale Hurston Fieldwork Footage (1928)

Author and sometimes filmmaker Zora Neale Hurston filmed this three minutes worth of footage that was shot of a logging community in Loughman, Florida. Honestly, it's pretty hard to actually "rate" this movie since it's basically just a bunch of clips of men logging but it's certainly of historic interest considering who made it plus it gives us a chance to see some black people at work during a time when there's not too much footage of it. This three-minute film was included on Kino's Pioneers of African-American Cinema and it's certainly worth watching as a curiosity piece.

I think I would have preferred this as a silent.

"Zora Neale Hurston Fieldwork Footage" is historically important...so I am glad it exists and has been preserved. However, I must also point out that Ms. Hurston's singing (which accompanies this silent film) is hard on the ears. It is a look and listen to the style of the rural south of the day...so it's important...but also painful. As she sings you see preserved footage of black workers on the railroad and lumber industry in Florida...not traditional fieldwork as the title would suggest. Interesting but a film most likely of interest to ethnographers and other academicians. Difficult, if not impossible, to rate.
