Engaged ethnographic film festival - "Vizantrop" (Belgrade)

Dear Vaneasa members,


My name is Relja Pekić and I am president of Collective "Vizantrop". The
"Vizantrop" collective has emerged as a platform for the association of
regional and international (audiovisual) anthropologists, documentaries,
artists and all those interdisciplinary researchers dealing with film and
photography

We are a group of anthropologists and ethnologists from Belgrade and Zagreb
who is organizing a two-page journal for interdisciplinary audiovisual
research, visual anthropology and ethnographic film. Our goal is to launch
an audiovisual lab, which will produce scientific works, films, video
clips, photo diaries, etc.


The call is open until May 15th 2019 and the film production

shouldn’t be older than 4 years (produced between 2014-2018).


The films need to be available on downloadable internet links.

Only English subtitled versions are accepted.

Vizantrop, engaged ethnographic film festival in Serbia, is pleased to
announce the opening submissions for the first edition of festival. The
Festival will be held in the city of Belgrade, from June 14th – 16th 2019
and organized by international collective “Vizantrop” from Belgrade and
Zagreb .

The Mission of the Festival is to encourage research and creative
approaches to engaged ethnographic film, to educate audience about ways to
perceive and accept the diversity of local cultural traditions and to point
out the importance of cultural specificities and the importance of
preserving cultural heritage.

Submissions are free and open for films with innovative and analytical
approach to cultures and societies. Authors can submit their films for any
length of time and not older than 4 years for the following categories:


1.

*Community and Equality* (competition program) - films about communities
in general; films about the diverse forms of human cultures; films about
alternative economies of social groups, political transformations and
movements around the world films about engagement of researchers and their
teams in helping endangered and marginalized communities overcome problems
; autoethnographic films and all kind of experimental ethnographic forms
who are questioning human and their sensorical perception in order to
achieve better understanding of humans.
2.

*Intangible cultural heritage* (informative program) - films in the
domain of intangible cultural heritage that seek to represent and preserve
various customs, cultural expressions and practices, as well as their
transformations in contemporary times.
3.

*Student film* (competition program) - films produced by students as
young authors at their universities; films produced from visual
anthropology workshops all around the globe


We want the festival to encourage researchers, professors and future
researchers to apply the methodology of visual anthropology with the aim of
preserving human-perpetuated communities throughout the world, but also
those communities that need new energy to overcome all social and economic
problems. For us, the film is a tool of transcultural communication that
can influence the social intervention and the importance of the sharied
anthropology for all people

We are hoping this festival will find its ways of funding in the future,
unfortunately we will not be able to fund the travel and accommodation
costs of the participants this year, but we support participation in our
events.



Prize for the competition program “Community and Equality” implies paid
transportation and accommodation during "The School of Visual Anthropology
2020" which will take place in Belgrade (Serbia) in summer 2020. The
awarded filmmaker will be a lecturer at the workshop and will receive a fee

Prize for the competition program “Student film” implies free participation
and accommodation for a ten day ethnographic film workshop "The School of
Visual Anthropology 2020" which will take place in Belgrade (Serbia) in
