An International Student Ethnographic Film section will be hosted in the Film Festival PLATFORMA VIDEO8, to be held at 7-10 November in Athens

The ethnographic film section of the festival is aiming at films made from anthropology students or related after 2004, either as dissertations or as assignments. This is done, as we aim to discuss the innovations and restrictions of student ethnographic film making (i.e. time, production, department conventions, experimentation). This ethnographic section of the festival doesn’t have a competitive character. However, we are keen to invite some of the filmmakers during the festival, depending on available funds. Additionally, we are organising an ethnographic film workshop where we hope to engage in a dialogue on / with the future of ethnographic film.

The deadline for film submission is the 1st of June.
