MKIM Presents
"The Silent Enemy"
Saturday, July 24, 2010
4:00 PM and 7:00 PM
$10 adults/$5 children under 12.
"The Silent Enemy" (1930), one of the last silent movies ever made, depicts an Ojibwa group's struggle to survive a harsh winter. Food is getting scarce for the tribe, and the chief must choose between the advice of Baluk to go north to the caribou herds, or the conniving medicine man Dagwan to stay put. On the way north they endure great hardship, and the conflict between Baluk and Dagwan deepens. It doesn't help that both want to marry the chief's daughter.
Filmed on location in Canada with a cast of 150 Native Americans, The Silent Enemy provides a rare glimpse of authentic life before the coming of the white men. While burdened with Hollywood plot lines and the exaggerated acting inherent in silent films, the movie is entertaining and full of truly spectacular footage of the native North Americans going through their daily routines from fishing to hunting to traveling in the snow or going down the river in a canoe. All of the "props" are authentic. Their production for the film provided Ojibwa elders an opportunity to teach their traditional skills and to preserve some of their ways for future generations.
Filmed over the course of two years, the film is the first to use a zoom lens camera and includes some of the best wildlife photography of any time. Nature scenes include a battle between a mountain lion and bear, a wolverine ransacking a food cache, and a bull moose fighting off wolves.
The film will be introduced by MKIM Board Chair Betsy Janeway, daughter of William Chanler, one of the movies co-producers. A panel discussion will follow each showing. All proceeds go to Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum operations and programming.
