July 23, 1951, was a filmmaker whose originality and poetic vision helped create a romantic tradition in documentary films. Before making Nanook of the North (1922), a depiction of Eskimo life and his first and most famous film, Flaherty explored Canada as a mapmaker. His interest in native cultures and the simple agrarian life is reflected in later films--Moana (1926), Tabu (1931), Man of Aran (1934), and Louisiana Story (1948). Bibliography: Flaherty, Frances H., The Odyssey of a Film-maker: Robert Flaherty's Story (1960; repr. 1972); Griffith, Richard, The World of Robert Flaherty (1953; repr. 1972).
