The American Museum of Natural History's Margaret Mead Film Festival, occurring May 2-4, 2025, showcases documentary films that ask crucial questions and explore the crevices of culture across the human and non-human world. The festival has evolved to reflect the varying incarnations of storytelling, technology, and the growing awareness of other communities near and far. As anthropology has become increasingly self-reflective, so has the Mead. The Margaret Mead Film Festival seeks to connect cultures and communities globally, creating empathy and understanding through documentary, experimental films, animation, hybrid works, and more.
