Ethnofest - Athens Ethnographic Film Festival

The Athens Ethnographic Film Festival, held annually each November, presents the best ethnographic films of each year, i.e. short and feature-length anthropological documentaries which are the product of research conducted by scientist of visual anthropology or relative fields. It is also our ambition to further rally and support the academic community, especially the young directors, by showcasing their films, creating a support network (workshops, networking meetings) as well as educating future scientists with our internship programme.

Summer School
The Festival and the Netherlands Institute at Athens, in collaboration with a number of Dutch universities have been organizing an intensive summer school on visual anthropology. The 3-week summer school schedules a series of seminars and workshops, as well as practical work on aspects of visual anthropology. Thirty students from all over the world are selected and split in groups, in order to shoot short films in various areas of Athens. Some of these films are then screened as part of the Athens Ethnographic Film Festival, a few months later.
