*COURSE Film Theory: Experimental Ethnographic and Documentary Films *
*This eight-week evening course (starting 5th of December 2016) 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 cinéma vérité 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.*
*Below is an indication of what topics and films will be covered over the
eight sessions:*
*Silent cinema and early ethnographic film Peoples without Land: Pastoral
Nomads in East Africa Jean Rouch and Cinéma Vérité Slow Cinema USA -
Observational Mode and Visual Diaries Visual Anthropology and the City
