Six Films of Early Exploration
Introduced from the Royal Geographical Society by Duncan Carse 3: Home of the Head Hunters (Borneo 1915) and Land of Mystery and Charm (China 1934)
' These are the first motion pictures ever taken in Borneo, Land of the Head Hunters '- this is the opening caption of Dr Carl Lumholtz 's film: while in this vivid record ' there was always the risk of having the film eaten by grasshoppers.'
In China the splendours of Peking and the One Furlong Camel Race are among many scenes in a delightful and accomplished film-the work of Frances Hotham , a remarkable young lady who travelled, filmed and lectured her way around the world.
