Three Centuries of Expeditions. In the Footsteps of Miklouho-Maclay: Part 3–The Twenty-First Century

The film connects two centuries and two coasts: the 19th and the 21st, Saint-Petersburg and the Maclay Coast. It is a story of how continuity becomes action: Russian scientists once again follow in N. N. Miklouho-Maclay’s footsteps to hear the voices of local communities, record their traditions, and understand their world. The expedition is led by his descendant and namesake, Nickolay Miklouho-Maclay Jr., and there is special meaning in that: science as a dialogue that never breaks off. You will see ethnographers’ fieldwork, learn about new discoveries in northeastern New Guinea, and feel how the memory of the great traveler still connects Russia and the distant Maclay Coast.
