ATHENS ETHNOGRAPHIC FILM FESTIVAL
ATHENS ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY
*Call for Films*
*for the themed section*
*Filming Labour and Precarity*
*of the *
*8**th** Athens Ethnographic Film Festival*
Since its very beginning, the *Athens Ethnographic Film Festival* has aimed
at making the Festival accessible to wider audiences and promoting the
educational and reflexive dimension of ethnographic cinema on social and
political consideration. Thus, in 2014 the Festival introduced a themed
section, which focuses on a different topic every year. *This year's
tribute emphasizes on the various filmic approaches of work, labour and
precarity and will be curated by anthropologists Dimitra Kofti (Max Planck
Institute) and Mao Mollona (Goldsmiths College). *
This year's session is dedicated to films on labour, in an era of deepening
precarity and deregulation of work. *We invite film projects *on
work*, *labour,
unemployment and scarcity of labour, unpaid labour, affective labour,
inclusion and exclusion through work, migration and work, bondage labour,
the experience of applying for jobs, the intertwinement of work with
gender, ethnic and age inequality, all issues of great concern and debate
today.
The session will present *various approaches to filming labour and
precarity,* including documentary, participatory, docufiction, artistic and
ethnographic forms of filmmaking. It will *critically reflect on the
relationships between film processes, aesthetics and the politics of
representation* and through an in-depth review of contemporary visual
approaches to labour the session *will engage with questions*, such as:
what insights can films on labour bring on the dynamics of contemporary
capitalism? How can one respond to Harun Farocki’s claim that all films on
labour take the perspective of capital? How can processes of filmmaking
cast a critical light on different forms of material and immaterial labour?
*The deadline for submission is July 1st. For more information and to
