Abstract

This essay explores historical, textual, and discursive questions surrounding the overlooked expedition film. Using Carl Lumholtz's 1920 expedition film Borneo: In the Land of the Head-Hunters as a case study, issues of authorship, sponsorship, stylistic tropes (such as the long take), as well as the expedition film's conventionalization in the 1920s, are taken up and discussed.
