Prizes

The novelty of a film on African photography, which until then had hardly been studied, surely helped FUTURE REMEMBRANCE win prizes. Added to that is the film's humor that derives from the inventiveness and good humor of its subjects. At the time, "ethnographic film" was still assumed to be (yaaaaaawn!) "educational."
