content:
Full film record of the twelve-day Nambudiri Agnicayana ritual performed in Panjal, India, the world's oldest surviving ritual, a Vedic sacrifice to Agni, the god of fire. Filmed in Kerala, southwest India, this 12-day ritual was performed in 1975 for perhaps the last time. Footage documents the material and spatial preparations for the event and ritual rehersals for the ceremony which was staged as a way of reviving an important observance in Nambudirir Vedic tradition. Shots include: construction of ritual implements and materials by carpenters, potters, and brickmakers; surveying and preparation of the ground for the sacrificial enclosures and for the main enclosure (salsa) in which the ceremony is performed; gathering of soma vines; and the complex enactment of the Agnicayana ritual itself which features extended and repetitive sequences of Vedic textual recitation and chanting. Detailed documentation of ritual phases featuring consecrations and construction of altars, oblations of ghee and various symbolic sacrifices upon the altars by priests and assistants; the preparations of soma and the rite of soma drinking; and the five-day construction and consecration of the main altar (Agni) accompanied by prescribed recitations of Vedic texts and the chanting of mantras. Various interviews with Vedic scholars and local authorities attending the event. Ritual concludes with the ceremonial buring of the ritual compound. The edited film ALTAR OF FIRE was produced from this film project.

Collection contains supplementary materials, namely, associated texts and annotations (recorded narratives).

Series 7 consists of Viewpoints, Inc. film and video elements and related sound recordings from circa 1960-2015. These materials directly relate to Chickering and Porterfield's professional film output and consist of edited and unedited film in a variety of formats as well as recordings of the corresponding lectures delivered by Chickering and Porterfield on the travel lecture circuit.

Elements include Kodachrome camera original film in the form of workprints and outtakes; Kodak prints of the edited films, made for potential projection and distribution; videocassette and DVD transfers of the same; and sound recordings used or recorded on tour, including lecture narrative recordings and field sound. Lecture recordings are largely undated but provide a glimpse into the timing and delivery of (and audience reaction to) Chickering and Porterfield's longer lecture films. Some recordings include snippets of other performers.

Chickering and Porterfield released five full-length (70-80 minute) silent travelogues through the production company Viewpoints, Inc. in the 1960s and early 1970s: Austria à la Carte (1960), Caribbean Dutch Treat (1963), Bravo Portugal! (1965), Europe's Mini-Countries (1968), and Winter in Mexico (1973). Chickering and Porterfield acted as directors, producers, cinematographers, and editors on each film.

Viewpoints, Inc. also released two shorter 30-minute public relations sound films sponsored by Volkswagen of America: Four Seasons of Austria (1962, which used footage from Austria à la Carte) and Portugal with Pleasure (1968, which used footage from Bravo Portugal!). Curaçao: The Caribbean Dutch Treat (circa 1963) appears to be a trailer or excerpt from the longer film.

This series is arranged in the following subseries chronologically according to film release date: 7.1 Austria à la Carte, circa 1960; 7.2 Four Seasons of Austria, circa 1962; 7.3 Four Seasons of Austria (Outtakes), circa 1962; 7.4 Caribbean Dutch Treat, circa 1963; 7.5Curaçao: The Caribbean Dutch eat (Trailer), circa 1963; 7.6 Bravo Portugal!, circa 1965; 7.7 Portugal with Pleasure, circa 1968; 7.8 Europe's Mini-Countries, circa 1968; and 7.9 Winter in Mexico, circa 1973.

Edited film produced in association with Republic Pictures and made in the course of the Lewis Cotlow Third African Expedition in 1954 to Tanganyika (Tanzania), Uganda, Kenya, and the Belgian Congo (Zaire). The film crew's eight month safari covered over 15,000 miles with the goal of filming a variety of African animals. The expedition visits the animal stockade of Carr Hartley in Rumuruti, Kenya and films the zoo-catching enterprise while they rope and crate animals. The simulated hunt of a leopard by Turkana men and the successful trapping of another leopard by son of Carr Hartley becomes the filmic justification for a fabricated African "celebration" attended by Turkana, Masai, and Kuria peoples. Ethnographic footage includes the music, dances, ostrich plume headdresses, and ivory lip plugs of the Turkana; the attire and jewelry of Masai women; and dances and rituals among the Kuria. Other indigenous people depicted in the film include the Mbuti Pygmies of the Ituri forest who demonstrate the building of a liana bridge across a river and "celebrate" its completion with music and dance. In Tanganyika (Tanzania), the film crew joins another big game hunter, Pellegrini, and films the capture of an elephant, a hippopotamus, and a rhinoceros.
