2013 Film Festival
The 6th International Festival of Anthropology Film Festival (March, 2013), Occupy Anthropology! is organized by The Ethnographic Film Unit at UBC in collaboration with The Museum of Anthropology. and the University Neighbourhoods Association.
Festival theme: Our selection this year focusses on politically engaged and activist anthropological films that turn the lens on what it means to challenge cultural norms and political authority. We take up the progressive intent and desires of the Movement of the Indignant in Spain and across Europe, the Occupy Together Movement in North America, and the push for real democracy globally. In the swirl of democratizing protests we invite filmmakers to submit projects that take a position on the place of anthropological film in protest and protest in anthropological film.
