title:The Festival of the Pumpkin
duration: 3:30

description:
This short film/video examines the festival of the pumpkin in small town, mid-west America. A twist, however, is that this documentary, in homage to NOVA/PBS documentaries, mocks the traditional format and tone of early cultural documentary film. Thereby, subjecting the inhabitants to labels such as: "natives," "indigenous," "primitive," and "villagers".
