Documentary

Samoans gathered around Stevenson's grave
Burial and grave of Tusitala (Robert Louis Stevenson), 1894, Apia, by Thomas Andrew. Te Papa (C.001428)

Working with film interns from the Media Studies programme at the National University of Samoa, filmmakers Dan Lin and Nick Stone are documenting the research process of the Remediating Stevenson project, using a Cinema Vérité style to explore the legacies and significance of Stevenson’s Pacific writing, and attitudes towards his involvement in the Samoan indigenous sovereignty movement of the late nineteenth-century, for contemporary Samoans. Through interviews and archival research, the creative team behind the documentary probe the lasting effect of Stevenson’s time in Samoa on the author’s literary work and cultural legacy, as well as on modern-day Samoa. Screenings of the documentary will be arranged in Samoa, Hawai‘i and Scotland, before the film is made publicly available here, on this website.
