  • ""Native North Americans described early white photographers as "Shadow Catchers" for the power they possessed to stand before the sun and capture their subjects' spirits. Edward S. Curtis was arguably the greatest Shadow Catcher of them all. Over a 34 year period (1896-1930), he took over 40,000 photographs, recorded 10,000 songs and made numerous 35mm films --the most extensive anthropological project ever undertaken. The Shadow Catcher is a film that retraces Curtis' dramatic and eventful journeys from the pueblo regions of the Southwest, north to British Columbia and Alaska, re-creating events, dramatizing his struggles and featuring the photographs--many of them now world famous--that resulted. Curtis' own unpublished journals, field notes, and private letters are the source materials of this history-making film--which also includes all of Curtis' recoverable film footage."--Case."
