The Mead was founded by the American Museum of Natural History in New York in 1977, in honor of pioneering anthropologist Margaret Mead on her seventy-fifth birthday and her fiftieth year at the Museum. A film festival represented an especially apt form with which to celebrate Mead's life, as she was one of the first anthropologists to recognize the significance of film for fieldwork. Organized by the Museum's Public Programs Division in the Department of Education, the Festival is held each November as well as a Traveling Festival, which includes a selection of titles from the Festival. TheTraveling Festival screens at museums, universities and theaters throughout the United States and abroad.
