Subject: Re: Ethnographic Film
I always enjoy Chris Marker's Sans Soleil as a very good
ethnography-related film. He admits when the camera's presence as an
ethnographic tool is cumbersome, but he has the courage to try to elicit
a response from subjects when this is so. In one instance, a woman at a
marketplace is being filmed for an uncomfortable amount of time, and she
acknowledges but ignores the camera in what can only be a unique
response. It should be available to buy on DVD or VHS.
