Jean Rouch's contributions to both film and anthropology are immense. He created over seventy ethnographic films throughout his career. His work, along with sociologist Edgar Morton, "Chronicle of a Summer" is considered the pioneer cinema-verite film, greatly influencing French New Wave filmmakers such as Godard and Truffaut. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment, however, are the ways he impacted the African continent. He focused on collaboration, teaching his African co-workers about film technology. Many great filmmakers of West Africa once worked with Rouch.
