Desert Dwellers: 1928 Sands

This 1928 silent film, People Who Live In The Desert 1928, from the Orgone Cinema 16mm Archive, offers a rare glimpse into desert life, likely the American Southwest. Produced by an unknown filmmaker—possibly for classroom or public screening—it captures nomadic tribes or settlers, perhaps Navajo or Bedouin-style herders, amid dunes and scrub. Grainy footage pans across arid vistas, showing daily tasks like weaving or herding, with intertitles explaining survival in harsh climes. Digitized by A/V Geeks, this 16mm relic blends education with 1920s curiosity about remote cultures.
