New issue of JAF

Dear all,

Journal of Anthropological Film (JAF) has just released a new issue with five open-access films: https://boap.uib.no/index.php/jaf/issue/view/459

JAF warmly invites anthropological filmmakers to submit your film for review and consideration for publishing in a future volume.

This issue includes films from Iceland, Belgium, Denmark, the Solomon Islands, the United Kingdom, Australia and Japan. The films contribute anthropological insights through topics related to water, technology, memory, myth, the collaborative process and education. As in the previous issue, the films published here span more than two decades (between 1997 and 2022), and include a self-reflexive, polyphonic video essay, a doctoral research project incorporating a collage of observation and memory, a film that employs creative reframings of classical research footage, a collaborative ethnographic documentary, and a non-linear, non-verbal sensory ethnography.

Bringing together these very different projects, we aim to underline the idea that contemporary anthropological filmmaking involves a multitude of methods, compositions and configurations. The forms and approaches of these works range from the traditional to the experimental, demonstrating the breadth, diversity and vibrancy of existing strategies within the field.

We hope you enjoy the issue!

Best wishes, Osmund E. B. Grholt (on behalf of the editorial team)
