Blue Ribbon Award at last year’s
American Film Festival in Chicago.
Von Puttkamer has entered the
piece into the 1993 Academy

Awards. ;

If Kecia is his favorite show, then
The Spirit of the Mask is certainly
his most ambitious.

Narrated by anthropologist

. Wade Davis, author of The Ser-
pent and the Rainbow, The Spirit
of the Mask includes rare footage
of once-banned potlatch rites and
ancient native dance rituals.

The one-hour documentary
reveals the significance of the
mask in northwest native spiritual
rites and shows how contem-
porary man has severed his
spiritual connection with the natu-
ral warld.

‘In the film, we point out the
irony of how we dismissed native.
culture, and it seems as if now,
with the way the ecology is going,
there’s a recognition of being in
closer touch with nature,

“‘Now you have people doing

what natives have been doing for
hundreds of years.”

At the very least, von Puttkamer
hapes the piece will spark greater
appreciation for native art and

_ culture.

“T hope it will get people to
say, ‘Wow, ! had no idea there
was so much involved in native
art. There’s more to it than some-
one just carving something and
hanging it on a wall.’

So far, The Spirit of the Mask has
attracted considerable atteniion
from his peers, And at the 1992
New York Festivals — the world’s
largest TV competition — it
garnered a bronze medal.

A gold would have been the
ultimate reward, but von Put-
tkamer isn’t discouraged about
coming Lehind the other medal-
ists, ‘

‘We feel pretty good about it
because we beat two National
Geographics and a PBS snow,” he
says, beaming. ‘It’s especially
rewarding knowing that the gold
went to Francis Ford Coppola for
Hearts of Darkness.’
