The Shadow Catcher (clip)
"The Shadow Catcher" is a story about Edward Curtis, and the Indian people he worked with for over 30 years of his life (1896-1930). Photographer, anthropologist and filmmaker, Curtis is in the tradition of American eccentric geniuses who worked their way out of the frontier into the mainstream of the 20th century. The Shadow Catcher includes all of Curtis' recoverable film footage, much of which has been located through T.C. McLuhan's three years of research prior to and during the making of the film. Excerpts from a dramatic film made in 1914 with the Kwakiutl on the Northwest coast allows an audience to witness the historic performance of many Northwest coast masked dances. In the summer of 1906, Curtis travelled to the Navajo Indian Reservation in northeastern Arizona. With the permission of the Navajo, he filmed and participated in the Navajo Yebechai Ceremony and recorded their songs. Another film, made with the Hopi in 1912, appears in the context of a biographical reconstruction of Curtis' initiation into the Snake Fraternity. The soundtrack includes original Indian music from the Kwakiutl, the Navajo and the Hopi, as well as several more recently composed variations by Comanche composer Eddie Wapp. Interviews with three of the original cast of Curtis' 1914 dramatic film about the Kwakiutl were made in Fort Rupert, British Columbia. Produced and directed by T.C. McLuhan. Written by T.C. McLuhan and Dennis Wheeler. Cinematography by Robert Fiore. Narrated by Donald Sutherland and Patrick Watson. 88 minutes, color.

Marianne Wiggins
The Shadow Catcher dramatically inhabits the space where past and present intersect, seamlessly interweaving narratives from two different eras: the first fraught passion between turn-of-the-twentieth-century icon Edward Curtis (1868-1952) and his muse-wife, Clara; and a twenty-first-century journey of redemption. Following her National Book Award finalist, Evidence of Things Unseen, Marianne Wiggins turns her extraordinary literary imagination to the American West, where the life of legendary photographer Edward S. Curtis is the basis for a resonant exploration of history and family, landscape and legacy.
