Film Theory: Experimental Ethnographic and Documentary Films
*Thursday 19th May - Thursday 7th July*
UCL, 14 Taviton Street
London WC1H 0BW
This eight-week evening course, led by Anthropologist Barbara Knorpp,
provides opportunities to watch and discuss classic and experimental
ethnographic and documentary films in order to critically engage with the
politics of image making.
Starting from silent cinema of Robert Flaherty and use of montage of
Russian filmmakers in the 1920s to visual video diaries in New York by
Jonas Mekas, French cinema verite and indigenous filmmaking in Brazil, the
course will give a historic overview on how the genre of ethnographic film
has changed from seemingly scientific accounts to staged authenticity,
fiction films and from experimental modes to collage, made out of found
footage.
