In the Land of the Head Hunters

In the Land of the Head Hunters also called In the Land of the War Canoes is a 1914 silent film fictionalizing the world of the Kwakwakawakw peoples of the Queen Charlotte Strait region of the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, written and directed by Edward S. Curtis and acted entirely by Kwakwakawakw native people.

Curtis had earlier experimented with multimedia. In 1911 he created a stage show with slides, a lecture, and live musical accompaniment, called The Indian Picture Opera. He used stereopticon projectors, where two projectors dissolved back and forth between images. This was his prelude to entering the motion picture era.citation needed The film opened in New York City and Seattle, Washington in December 1914, with live performances of a score by John J. Braham. Braham had access to wax cylinder recordings of Kwakwakawakw music, and the promotional campaign at the time suggested that his score was based on these in fact, there were few snatches of Kwakwakawakw music in the score. Although critically praised, the film was a commercial failure. ........
