Invitation
Dear ethnographic film lovers, viewers and authors alike,
This year we have organised the eighth edition of our festival The Days of Ethnographic Film, which has navigated between relative constancy and some novelties since its inception in 2007. Continue reading
Festival program
Program of the festival is already set, you can check it here: schedule.
Selection and anti-selection
DEF is a festival without awards for several reasons: among others, because its organisers feel that awards may inadvertently create an unproductive hierarchy in a festival whose essential mission is to explore diverse visual ethnographic approaches. This diversity has become increasingly prominent in recent years, and is hard to assimilate and structure. Continue reading
Festival: 10th – 13th March 2015
The selector of the DEF Festival, Naško Križnar, has completed his selection of films for the festival program. In the coming days we will contact all authors and coordinate any additional details, then we will release the list of selected films.
Every year we are amazed by the amount of high quality films. This is a pleasant surprise, but in the same time it quite complicates the selection process. In the next days we will post a selector’s report, which will summarize his general observations about his few weeks long living with submitted films.
DEF Festival will take place from Tuesday 10th to Friday 13th March 2015. The projections will take place in the Slovenian Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana, the program will start in the morning and end in the evening. Shortly we will release the schedule of projections.
New website & submissions for DEF 2015 now closed
As of today, the submission for the festival Days of ethnographic film 2015 is not possible anymore. We received approximately 190 applications. Selector of the festival, Naško Križnar, will make his selection in a few weeks and the results will be first consulted with the authors and then published on this page.
At the same time, we are pleased to announce that we have updated our homepage. We will now better and easier communicate all relevant news and data.
In the following days we will publish a list of all submitted films.
