Film is an excellent way of showing human interaction with the landscape, as anthropologists and, more recently, archaeologists have realized. Film also raises other issues that are important to a reflexive and interactive archaeology: the relationship between archaeological investigators and local people, the desirability of reporting in various ways to various constituencies, the use of film as an appropriate way of reporting, and the value of people's responses to film for further archaeological analysis. Here the issues are discussed in the context of making a film about the Sphakia Survey, an archaeological field survey in southwestern Crete.
