Films : Museum of Stolen Souls : all

animate! synopsis

Face it, the objects have lives. From missionary madness to museum piece, the ‘history’ of rainforest peoples goes under the lens. Time to give it back…

short synopsis

Christian Evangelism has had, and still has, much involvement in the ‘history making’ of rainforest cultures.

Museum of Stolen Souls uses 2-D, model and photo animation to depict ruthless missionary activity, past and present, and to raise questions of how and why objects came to be removed from their cultural sources.
