International Conference Ethnographic Film in the Nordic Countries

While one may conclude that several battles have been won, and that visual anthropology and ethnographic film are firmly established as permissible research components, the time may have come to raise more awkward issues, concerning challenges and compatibilities when using film in producing ethnography, and the relationship between the world of narrative cinema, art and anthropology. The talk will be accompanied by screenings of film clips or films.
