Welcome to OVID’s “Author Selects” series, where we invite an author to select a film on OVID and explain why they think you should watch it.

In our sixth installment, we welcome Laure Astourian to discuss Jean Rouch's The Human Pyramid. Laure Astourian is author of The Ethnographic Optic, Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, Alain Resnais, and the Turn Inward in 1960s French Cinema (Indiana University Press), and Associate Professor in the Modern Languages department at Bentley University.
