Friedrich Dalsheim (1895 - 1936) was a pioneer of ethnographic film. During the 1930s he shot four feature-length films, travelling to Togo, Greenland and Borneo. Inspired by Robert Flaherty, he preferred to make films with a narrative element. This means his works are not ethnographic reports, but stories from the perspectives of the people he filmed.
