Anthropologists are increasingly recognizing the need to expand their methodology and analytical expression. Traditional academic representations in the form of articles or monographs textually provide insights into cultural practices, norms and institutions of social everyday life, however, in order to more fully represent the complexity of social life and the problems faced by communities, alternative academic approaches need to be included that include more sensual perspectives and In this way, they facilitate the understanding of the Other. The importance of visual anthropology is recognized both in the academic community and in the work of public institutions and (non) governmental organizations that increasingly use audiovisual methods for facilitating transcultural dialogue. In addition, we consider that audiovisual representations can have a far reaching reach and a wider audience than professionally written academic texts, and their potential to influence social reality is even greater. Ethnographic film is not seen exclusively as a product of research work, but as a tool for initiating changes.


The festival will last from 13 to 16 June and the entire film program will be shown at the UK Parobrod cinema hall (Captain Mishina 6 / A). In addition to the competition part of the program, films will also be screened in the informative program “Intangible Cultural Heritage”.
