"Hanunóo," a documentary about the lives of farming people in the Philippines, will be shown at 5 p.m. on Oct. 10 as part of the Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival.

Correction

In our article "Traveling Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival Comes to Campus" in the Sept. 29 issue, we incorrectly listed one of the film offerings for Tuesday, Oct. 10.

The film being shown at 5 p.m. is "Hanunóo," which was created by Harold Conklin, professor emeritus of anthropology at Yale. Released in 1957, the film documents the everyday lives of the Hanunóo, a village of farming people in the mountains of Mindoro, Philippines. The film shows the Hanunóo's food production methods and household, leisure and socioreligious activities. The screening will be in the third-floor auditorium of the Peabody Museum, 170 Whitney Ave.

A discussion with Conklin and noted anthropologist and enthnographer Karl Heider, the keynote speaker at the film festival, will follow the screening of the 18-minute film. At 7 p.m. that evening, the film "Land Mines: A Love Story" will be shown in the same location.

The Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival is the longest-running documentary film festival in the United States. It will be presented at Yale Oct. 7-13. In addition to the traveling Mead Festival films, the Yale portion of the festival will also feature screenings of films by and discussions with Yale affiliates. In addition, Sterling Memorial Library will feature a special exhibition, running through Nov. 3, in conjunction with the film festival.

The festival is co-hosted by the Peabody Museum, Yale's Social Sciences Libraries and Information Services and the Department of Anthropology. All events are free and open to the public. The entire schedule can be found at www.yale.edu/peabody/events/mmfest_sched.html.
