Ever wanted to follow in the footsteps of beloved anthropologist Margaret Mead? Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller and Jeremy Newberger’s award-winning documentary “The Anthropologist” does just that. The film follows American teen Katie Crate who, along with her anthropologist mother Susie, spends five years studying the impact of climate change on indigenous communities. Along the way, their incredible journey parallels Mead’s, who spent decades of her professional career seeking to understand how global change affects remote cultures.

It’s been a couple months since the last edition of What’s Up Doc? placed Michael Moore’s surprise world premiere of Where To Invade Next at the top of this list and in the meantime much shuffling has taken place and much time has been spent on various new endeavors (namely my Buffalo-based film series, Cultivate Cinema Circle). Finally taking its rightful place at the top, D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hagedus’ Unlocking the Cage is in the midst of being scored by composer James Lavino, according to Lavino’s own personal site. Though the project has been taking shape at its own leisurely pace, I’d expect to see the film making its festival debut in early 2016.
