Paper long abstract:

This presentation shares the experience of teaching Ethnographic Filmmaking course on the theme of "filming the life-world of a schoolmate". The aim of ethnographic film is to expand and enrich the life-worlds of all the participants involved, including the filmmaker, the subject and the audience. At the heart of ethnographic filmmaking is the relationship between the filmmaker and the subject. The aim of the ethnographic filmmaking course is to provide students with a complete disciplinary vocation, ethics and basic technical training by guiding them through the independent production of a film.
