- Abstract
The article explores a sampling of Zora Neale Hurston's films and demonstrate the pioneering contribution to the field of visual anthropology and performative film production. It stated that Hurston developed fluency in an astounding number of fields, from playwright, novelist to performer, and anthropologist. Meanwhile, she entered a contractual agreement with Charlotte Osgood Mason, patron of many artists of the Harlem Renaissance. Moreover, the one that most likely produced for Mason is a piece entitled "Kossula Last of the Takkoi Slaves in America."
