Dear all,
There are several ethnographic film/audio oriented courses available starting soon at UCL's Open City Docs School, both practical and theoretical, that I thought the subscribers of this list might want to hear about. Based out of UCL and led by leading practitioners and theorists, these offer an affordable, useful entry point for anthropologists, filmmakers and any others with an active interest in non-fiction film and its creation.
For more information about any of these courses, please contact James Collie ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or 0203 1086696)
