Ethnographic Documentary and its relation to the Academic and Cinematographic reality
Konstantinos Aivaliotis & Nikos Sfakianakis

The aim of this meeting is to introduce to the participants the history and practices of Ethnographic Cinematography as well as the changes that have been made these last years.

It will then highlight the importance of academic programs focusing exclusively on this particular cinematographic genre, the contribution of new technology that granted access to audiovisual means in even more people and finally the more and more frequent use of the term in the context of cinematographic and festival’s reality.
