- Abstract
I Dead Birds Re-encountered i is one of Gardner's latest films and is about his return to the Dani people of Papua New Guinea (Gardner [8]). We learn from the interview in chapter 10 that Gardner met with artist Luis Buñuel and philosopher Octavio Paz and how both of these men had a profound influence on Gardner. Chapters 17 and 18 present I Forest of Bliss i (Gardner [7]), perhaps Gardner's most celebrated film. The voiceover in Gardner's ([3]) I Dead Birds i film is, however, not just a distant voice of God but rather the "inner states" (Morgan 2016, 34) of the people Gardner filmed.
