International Ethnographic Film Festival OKO: Call for Submissions
On September 11-18, 2021, the second edition of the OKO International
Ethnographic Film Festival will take place in the southern Ukrainian region
of Bessarabia. OKO is an ethnographic and anthropological documentary film
festival, where viewers can feel the heartbeat of small and large nations,
dwellers of villages and cities. It is an event where filmmakers,
folklorists, anthropologists, and ethnographers will be able to better
understand each other, share ideas, and agree on future cooperation.
Due to the pandemic, the first edition of the festival took place online.
Organizers received more than 800 applications and formed a unique program
that showcased traditions, religions, and big and small nations all over the
world.
The festival was founded by Tetiana Stanieva, a citizen of Ukraine with
Bulgarian ethnicity. Tetiana graduated as a folklorist and became a film
director.
