Jed Riffe Films + Electronic Media

Paris, France.  Jan. 4, 2010

"Ishi, The Last Yahi" was screened to a nearly full audience at the "La Filmothèque du Quartier Latin", one of Paris's many wonderful independent art house cinemas today.  It was sponsored by the French chapter of Survival International, an non-profit dedicated to the defense and support of tribal peoples. http://www.survivalinternational.org/

Almost everyone stayed after for the discussion with Matthieu Charle; a French ethnologist specializing in the study of Native Americans, and Daniel Meyers; California born documentary director and cameraman who has been based in Paris for the past 15 years and who had worked with Jed Riffe on two films, "Bear's Hiding Place" and "Who Owns The Past".

"Ishi, The Last Yahi" was extremely well received by all those who attended the screening and praised for it's sensitive and well crafted portrait of Ishi and the times he lived in.
