Paper long abstract:

Based in my own professional path, as a filmmaker that found anthropology later on her way, I would like to put the questions of the Convernors in the opposite direction:

What kinds of insights are provided to my films by the contact with the methodology and corpus of anthropology? What new ways are there for us -filmmakers- to work collaboratively with anthropology, and with what analytical impact? What are the consequences of a more specific and/or restricted dissemination of our films, into the academic world?

Considering the work I have been doing since 2010, in which ethnography and filmmaking are activities that are developed simultaneously, I would like to discuss different forms of interaction between these two types of writing, using images and words, feelings and theories. The works I will bring to the discussion will be: O fisherman my old man- film and Master Thesis in Anthropology, 2012-, My world was another- film and PHD Thesis in Anthropology, Work in progress- and Staying at a Petrol Station*- film, Post Doctoral Thesis?, future project.
