seminar Info
In this 2-hour seminar, we will explore how fieldwork and ethnographic research can be transformed into compelling visual stories. We will uncover hidden memories, contested histories, and acts of resistance that challenge mainstream narratives.
Through the power of filmmaking, this session will help you feel—not just understand—the complex layers of history, trauma, and transformation. Whether you are a filmmaker, artist, activist, anthropologist, historian, academic, or simply curious, this seminar invites you to discover the transformative potential of storytelling rooted in real-life collective memories.
What You Will Learn
- The essence of sensorial storytelling
- The diverse ways memories are used and represented
- How non-linear narration can deepen understanding
- Transforming field research into evocative visuals
- Examples from three concrete projects
- Navigating multiple truths and contested histories
- Avoiding extractivism toward a socially engaged work
- Developing a more-than-human perspective in filmmaking
Trigger Warning: This seminar includes examples relating to WWII concentration camps in Croatia and Serbia, the Kosovo conflict, and genocide in Bosnia during the 1990s.
