Chez les mangeurs d'hommes
1931 · 45 mins
André-Paul Antoine and Robert Lugeon organize an expedition to the New Hebrides on the island of Malekula to meet the last cannibal tribes. The team discovers a peaceful and hospitable people they will share the daily for six months. One day, a man from an enemy tribe tries to steal women. Determined to avenge the outrage, the village chief summons the Council of Elders, with the aim of attacking this tribe. The authenticity of this documentary was quickly questioned by the world of ethnologists: it does not detract from the strength of the film and raises the question of the relationship between the staging and the documentary.
Director: André-Paul Antoine
