Much of his work is linked to the birth of cinéma vérité. However, Rouch's fifty-year involvement with a particular group of people in Niger shines a more personal light on his work - one of friendship and collaboration. Together with this group, Rouch made numerous ethnographic films and developed their own cinematographic style. These films have been termed 'ethno-fictions.'<div><br /></div><div>In 2003, two Danish anthropologists and filmmakers went to Niger to make a film with Rouch's friends. Their film was going to be an exploration of the methods of the group. It became a story about how this unique collaboration came to change the lives of both the filmmaker and his friends.</div><div><br /></div><div>This DVD also contains a 15 minute clip of Rouch's friend and collaborator Damouré talking about the film Jaguar.</div><div><br /></div><div>Visit the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.der.org/jean-rouch/content/index.php">Jean Rouch tribute website</a>.</div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/jrgensen-anne-mette-c604all.aspx">J&oslash;rgensen, Anne Mette</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
