Description
Curated by Julia Yezbick, the films in this program push hard against the walls of epistemological givens and scholarly conventions to open up new ways of exploring and understanding our world. Though in conversation with the conventions and histories of ethnographic film and anthropological endeavors, the anthropologists/filmmakers/ artists/dancers/choreographers/musicians/poets/novelists who made these films exceed and defy the limits of a disciplinary purview, and their contributions expand the modes through which we convey, document, and express the human condition.
