Despite decades of trying, anthropologists have not managed to come to any
settled agreement on what ethnographic film is or should be. Rather than
being chained to the “classics” or a “canon”, anthropological filmmakers
and ethnographic filmmaking have instead pushed for new approaches. These
approaches continue to blur any presumed boundaries of the field.
Increasingly, ethnographic film has sought to position itself in productive
relationships alongside fellow travellers, including: indigenous,
diasporic, intercultural, African/black cinemas and experimental/art film
We invite papers that explore the boundaries of ethnographic film.
