    Blunden Harbor
    Blunden Harbor (1952) - Short Film
    Robert Gardner, then a graduate student of Anthropology at the University of Washington in Seattle, went to Blunden Harbour to research a major film project on the Kwakiutl about whom Ruth Benedict had written so eloquently. Larger work was never done and this small film remains one of the few authentic accounts of this once majestic people. Gently paced to capture the essence of life in this forgotten community, the film relies on an observational style and compelling visuals to tell the story.
