Description of the course In this course we will identify what makes an
ethnographic film work. We will ask: how can we portray other people’s way
of life on film truthfully? What is the appropriate way to represent them?
Is it possible to translate their experience objectively? What does the
ethnographic method bring to filmmaking? We will consider how anthropology
has used filmmaking since the birth of cinema and how filmmaking practices
in anthropology have evolved with advances in technology. This course
will introduce you to what you can gain in understanding and making images
with the tools of anthropology. Each week we will watch an ethnographic
film which helped to shape the discipline of visual anthropology. Each film
will be followed by a discussion considering the pros and cons of the film,
the filmmaker’s perspective, the way the subject matter is represented and
the methods used.
