Past Run
Moana with Sound
In 1924, documentary film pioneers Robert and Frances Flaherty and family traveled to the Samoan island of Savaii to record the native life and make a film that would try to match the success of Nanook of the North. Restored in 2K with native sounds and traditional songs that Flaherty’s daughter recorded over a half-century after they shot it, Monica Flaherty's Moana with Sound is a beautiful docu-fiction and important piece of film history.
“The imagery, in scenes that always unfold slowly, is truly startling, particularly given that the film is almost 90 years old.”
— Glenn Kenny, New York Times
