Student Ethnographic film trailer

Student Ethnographic film trailer showing films made by students at the Studio-Class/seminar “Communities and Culture: Visual Ethnography Lab”. Winter Term 2022/23, Department of Media, Creative Media and Industries, University of Thessaly. Taught by Konstantinos Kalantzis, TA: Konstantinos Diamantis.

 

“Communities and Culture” teaches students how to use visual media in order to study and represent social experience in a given context. Students are introduced to an array of theoretical conversations concerning representation, culture and ethnography, particularly as it concerns film and photography. They later on form groups through which they design and undertake an ethnographic study, which culminates in a short ethnographic documentary or a photo-essay. During term time, students receive extensive feedback on their projects and also get to delve into diverse examples of visual work in anthropology and beyond.
