The Tribal Eye: The Complete BBC Series [1975] [DVD]

The movie below was done in 1976 and David Attenborough will give you more explanation about the Dogon beliefs and story in The tribal eye (~ book link) by David Attenborough, and the influence on modern art.

Interesting is the fact that most shooting of this movie was done in Africa and you can see some of the rituals, but also many of the pieces from the British Museum illustrate this. Some of the facts are a bit dated, but it still is a nice and instructive watch if you want to understand the meaning of the use of masks and statues.

Streaming video of the entire Tribal Eye series are available online. Everyof this 7 part  series is around 50 minutes long .
Though the Tribal Eye series is again available on PAL DVD and playable on multi-format players,
it’s not available as easily for those of us who want to use our computers with DVD players set
to the region including only the US. So you can see them streaming if you are a member of this site, or buy the one time fee to access the complete content of this posting.

If you want to buy the DVD’s to see it conveniently from your home the only place where it can be bought is on Amazon UK where you can read more, the price will be surprisingly low :
