Harvard African Expedition of 1934 (original)
Six reels of 35 mm safety film B & W (total film running time = 54.2 minutes) from this Harvard African Expedition have just been found in archives of the Harvard University Medical School. These films are transferred to DV CAM (Digital Video); scenes were identified with the aid of the notes made by Richard Pearson Strong.
Kluxen G.: Harvard African Expedition of 1934 / Dr.Jean Hissette. Ophthalmologia Belgica Brussels 2004 (14 minutes)
Completely remade in 2004 from the original film: Harvard African Expedition of 1934
Hissette’s own original film material
Since about 1935, the material had been thought to be lost but not long ago it turned up as a VHS-video (running time = 30 minutes) and finally only the original celluloid film itself remains missing. This old celluloid film material had been recorded with two different early hand-cranked movie cameras. One was a heavy Zeiss camera with an axial optic for image control and the other one was a lightweight AGFA Box with an image control via an optic through a magnifier viewed from above with the camera held at waist level.
Kluxen G.: Dr. Jean Hissette’s Research Expeditions to Elucidate River Blindness, Kaden 2011 (10 minutes). This film has been completely remade in 2010 using Hissette’s own celluloid material from ~ 1935 as well as material from the film ”Harvard African Expedition of 1934“, Archives of the Harvard University Medical School, followed by a short presentation of a focal TV program from Belgium in 2005 (TV Lux).
This film is presented on DVD in the annexe to the book (same name), Kaden 2011.
This film has been separated in five parts and part I can be viewed by clicking the movie button (see Video).
