The article focuses on the Margaret Mead Film Festival, the five-day run of documentary films held at the American Museum of Natural History from September 14 to 18, 1986. The festival originated ten years ago as a celebration of Mead's association with the museum, and has since become a popular annual event. This year the selection committee considered the merits of 450 films in order to choose the final sixty-three, which included, for historical and sentimental reasons, a couple of Bateson/Mead oldies, "Trance and Dance in Bali" and "Childhood Rivalry in Bali" and "New Guinea", filmed between 1936 and 1938. Most of the situations in the films are real in a different sense from the nonfictitiousness of the characters.
