Join the Ethnography Lab for the 2nd screening of the season! This session will feature the screening of four short films by Jared Epp, Leo Stillinger, Melina Campos and Marie Lecuyer.
This event will explore an experimental modality of ethnographic filmmaking that anthropologist Jared Epp calls the ‘ethnographic B movie’, a novel approach to collaborative multimodal research. This approach – which encourages unprofessionalism, low quality, absurdity and caprice – provides an opportunity to centre research contexts, ontologies and epistemologies on the fringes or margins of conventional anthropological content, thought and context. Through situating the approach within ideas of arts-based research or research-creation the ethnographic B movie becomes a way to take the process of filmmaking as ethnography for the sake of an open and co-imaginative world. In the ethnographic B movie as filmic approach and representational frame, communicable meaning and narrative coherence are substituted for the spirit of co-creation, and interlocutor-driven content (Epp, 2023).
