	Robert J. Flaherty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flaherty was one of seven children born to prospector Robert Henry Flaherty (an Irish Protestant) and Susan Klockner (a German Roman Catholic); he was sent to Upper Canada College for his education.
		Flaherty also insisted that the Eskimos not use rifles to hunt, though they had become common, and pretended at one point that he could not hear the hunters' pleas for help, instead continuing filming their struggle and putting them in greater danger.
		Flaherty was in Samoa from April 1923 until December 1924, with the film completed in December 1925 and released in January 1926.

	Robert Joseph Flaherty
		Flaherty, along with his wife and family, traveled to the village of Safune on the Samoan island of Savi’i to record the traditional culture of a civilization which was rapidly changing and becoming westernized under British rule.
		Flaherty spent years alone filming the Eskimos of Canada, "wasted" several of them on a first effort that reportedly was destroyed by accident (some say, it was so bad, he did it on purpose).
		Flaherty is true in its essence, that Flaherty tried not to impose European ideals or ideas on the native rituals.

	International Film Seminars: Robert J. Flaherty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Robert Flaherty made films, and the films that he made have become legendary: in Nanook of the North, Moana, Man of Aran and The Louisiana Story, he captured essential qualities of the human spirit never before, and seldom since, found in cinema.
		And in studying Flaherty's characteristics as a filmmaker-his tireless effort to capture the representative image; his alertness to the unanticipated radiant moment, his painstaking devotion to the task of stripping away all superfluity, all merely picturesque detail, we begin to see the processes through which filmmaking can be raised to an art.
		Flaherty's belief in free inquiry, his reverence for the human spirit, his passionate and stubborn fight for freedom to pursue his art without interference, and to finish his films according to his own inner convictions have become part of the very definition of independent film.

	flaherty
		Born in Iron Mountain, Michigan in 1884, Flaherty’s father was both a hard-bitten realist and a dreamer, an iron miner and a gold prospector.
		For Flaherty, this conflict would always be expressed through an examination of the spirit with which this family comes to terms with its forbidding and unforgiving environment.
		Flaherty was now seen strictly as an exoticist, someone who could add interesting “color” to the visuals of a film but little else.

	Robert Flaherty - Films as Director:, Other Films:
		Flaherty turned to filmmaking not only as a means of creation but also to communicate to the outside world his impressions of Eskimo culture.
		Flaherty sought to portray their existence in a manner that would illustrate the purity and nobility of their lives, a purpose underlying each of his films.
		Another consistent feature of Flaherty's technique was the selection of a "cast." Although he pioneered the use of real people to reenact their own everyday lives before the camera lens, he deliberately chose ideal types on the basis of physical appearance and even created artificial families to act before the camera.

	Robert Flaherty
		Robert Flaherty is often proclaimed one of the founding fathers of documentary film.
		Louisiana Story recalls Grierson's enthusiasm for Flaherty's employment of “the found story.” It is said that in their research trip through the southern states of America, Frances and Robert Flaherty stumbled across an oil derrick being relocated and that this provided the initial images and commencement point for the production.
		(11) Flaherty's notion that the documentary narrative should "come out of the life of a people, not from the actions of individuals" as part of the daily routine of his native people (12) is utilised in the rendering of a life lived on the Bayou.

	A Re-examination of the Early Career of Robert J. Flaherty - Jay Ruby
		Flaherty's penchant for telling stories to appreciative audiences was combined with a sophisticated understanding of narrative devices and a knowledge of the existing film styles and possibilities.

		Flaherty was the object of awe and reverence among the Hollywood and New York commercial, intellectual, and artistic circles.

		Robert Flaherty is often credited as " the father of documentary," a moniker endlessly criticized by revisionist film historians, feminists, and post-colonialists.
		Flaherty was a legendary, hard-drinking raconteur who loved to share tales of filmmaking triumphs and woes with younger makers.
		In response, she formed the Robert Flaherty Foundation in 1952 "whose prime purpose is to help new talent to explore further and further into the possibilities of a medium so immense and unknown." It also served to perpetuate Robert's name and filmmaking spirit.

	OneWorld Magazine: Nanook of the North
		Flaherty's ethnographic impulse was born of his repeated encounters and interaction with native people during his work as a surveyor and prospector.
		Flaherty's sequence lasts just over two minutes; but the intensity of the event, as Nanook repeatedly hauls in line only to be jerked down and dragged over the ice back to the blow hole, is fully rendered.
		Flaherty has sometimes been criticized by subsequent generations of documentarians for his "reconstruction" of scenes, most notably inside the igloo.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : Man of Aran
		Eager to inject both inspiration and Flaherty's handling of technique into the their work, British documentarians such as John Grierson welcomed him as an innovative master craftsman who had proven that non-fiction films could be popular with critics and everyday audiences alike.
		Flaherty used this faux family (man, wife, child) as the centerpiece of a dramatized "day in the life" that enacted events far removed from anything ever experienced by the urban audiences who eventually cheered Man of Aran.
		Flaherty's collaborator/wife, Frances Hubbard Flaherty, is here and makes a good case for her husband's goals and intentions.

		Flaherty shot material for his first film, a study of the Belcher Islands, in 1917 but the footage was accidentally destroyed by a cigarette fire in his editing room.
		The success of NANOOK earned Flaherty studio backing from Paramount to make the lyrical Polynesian documentary MOANA (1925), which was praised by critics but justly attacked by anthropologists as a poetic fantasy rather than an accurate representation of island life.
		Flaherty's best-known British film was MAN OF ARAN (1934), a lyrical study of an Irish fisherman and his daily struggle for survival.

		Robert Flaherty, credited as the father of documentary filmmaking, was born in Michigan in 1884.
		Flaherty practiced the paradoxical aesthetic that seems to find its way into the careers of many filmmakers: the struggle between the artistic and the commercial.
		Flaherty frequently argued with the producers of his productions, and not surprisingly this resulted in his departure from several projects either before or during production.

	Flaherty Film Seminar at 50: Remembering the Past But Moving "Onward!"
		A large part of the Flaherty mystique is due the fact that attendees are not told in advance what they will be screening and will not know until the lights dim in the auditorium and the credits begin to roll.
		The Flaherty is where Robert Drew first met and decided to work with Ricky Leacock, a collaboration that would shortly lead to the American verité classic "Primary." The illustrious meetings of Rouch and Brault, Leacock and Drew at Flaherty are just a few of the many collaborations the Flaherty has produced over the years.
		In attendance at the Flaherty this year were a bevy of well-known and emerging avant garde and experimental filmmakers such as Morgan Fisher, Jennifer Reeves, Ulrike Ottinger, Phil Solomon, Eve Heller, Robert Breer, Peter Hutton, Luis Valdovino, Julia Meltzer, and David Thorne.

		This is a great documentary-stle film from Robert Flaherty, who brought us Nanook of the North, Tabu (with Murnau), and Man of Aran, among others.
		Flaherty's love of nature virtually gushes out into each scene; the BandW cinematography is elegent and the image quality is delightfully crisp on the Criterion DVD.
		And his filming of the machines is equally wonderful: he captures all their awful brilliance in a way that lets us feel what they must have inspired in the eyes of a young Acadian boy.

		Dallas, TX Traditionally considered to be documentary cinema's defining text, Robert J. Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922) has both an iconic and problematic status in contemporary studies of non-fiction film.
		Flaherty himself has been a figure similarly revered and reviled in equal measure for his genre-defying mixture of observational documentation and romantic reconstruction.
		As a flashpoint for debates about documentary film ethics and ethnographic representation, as well as a key figure in any consideration of the polymorphous category of non-fiction film, Flaherty remains as significant a figure to documentary studies as he was to the historical development of the form.

		The seminar features a wide array of films (both documentary and fiction) followed by heated discussions with the filmmakers, bringing to the forefront questions of truth and reality: "The Flaherty film falls in neither the fictional nor the documentary category; for in both these categories the film is preconceived.
		Robert Flaherty did not preconceive; he explored." This idea is what propels the seminar.

		Robert Flaherty's "Nanook of the North" is a true classic of ethnographic film.
		Consequently, Flaherty's film is considered a prime example of what is called salvage ethnography, which had to do with capturing a record of a culture before it disappeared.
		Besides, the life of hunting on the ice that Flaherty shows is indeed as dangerous as it looks, where a seal could prove to be as deadly as a walrus, and Allakariallak would die two years later when he was lost in a storm.

	How I Filmed Nanook of the North
		By Robert J. Flaherty, F.R.G.S. n August 1910, Sir William MacKenzie whose transcontinental railway, the Canadian Northern, was then in the initial stages of construction, commissioned the writer to undertake an expedition to the East Coast of Hudson Bay to examine deposits of certain islands upon which iron ore were supposed to be located.
		All told I made four expeditions on Sir William's behalf, during a period of six years, along the East Coast of Hudson Bay, through the barren lands of the hitherto unexplored peninsula of Ungava, along the west coast of Ungava Bay and along the southern coast of Baffin Land.
		Flaherty, immediately after taking a moving picture of these hunters when they harpooned and landed a walrus, developed the picture and projected it for the Eskimos who had seen and taken part in the hunt.
