Show detail Hide detail

The film follows the creative process of carving and finishing a magnificent wolf headdress from a block of cedar to its ultimate use as a ceremonial mask worn by the artist himself in a haunting dance which ends the film. Interwoven through-out are scenes from his life and personal reflections on the various influences which have helped shape him: childhood in his native village and his education at a Catholic mission boarding school; life on his remote island off the Pacific coast of British Columbia; and time spent in the city, visiting museums and sharing ideas with other artists. This film is a look at West Coast native artist, Joe David. Working within the tradition of the Northwest Coast peoples, Joe David has become one of the strong contemporary links in the preservation and re-invention of the art of the Northwest Coast. A highly personal picture, JOE DAVID: SPIRIT OF THE MASK is also a look at the vitality of the cultural revival novel underway in many native communities in North America.
Produced by Seawolf Films.
