SUMMARY:Session VII: Shetland’s Common Thread
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Paula Hsu \n\n\n\nDeeply embedded into everyday lives\, connected to different personal meanings\, and changing over generations: the production of a material that forms relationships between people\, animals and their common environment. \n\n\n\nShetland’s Common Thread (45 min) \n\n\n\nGermany / United Kingdom\, 2020\, English / English sub. Directed by Helena Held\, Leyla Rauch and Anja Heinrich \n\n\n\nShetland’s Common Thread is about the craft of wool processing on the Shetland Islands and the daily activities of the protagonists associated with it. The connection between the island and its human and non-human inhabitants becomes clear through the tranquil narrative style. The sustainable production method shows the deep relationship between people and the environment\, and makes visible the integration of the small island in the global network. \n\n\n\nLeyla Rauch\, Helena Held and Anja Heinrich have produced this film as a term assignment for their MA in Visual Anthropology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany. \n\n\n\nConversation with \n\n\n\nKiah Rutz\, PhD Candidate in Social and Cultural Anthropology\, University of Zurich

SUMMARY:Session VI: Shared Things
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Lucrezia Omlin \n\n\n\nSometimes\, when people share spaces\, interests or ideas\, their joint efforts result in something no one could create on their own. This session presents a mixture of situations where people find new perspectives on their lives by sharing what they have and what they dream of. \n\n\n\nBetter than Home (3 min) \n\n\n\nGermany\, 2021\, German / English sub. Directed by Marie Pauline Bagh \n\n\n\nFor women who experience domestic violence\, a women’s refuge is often the only way out. This short documentary film is intended to give a small insight into this shelter and yet preserve its anonymity. \n\n\n\nMarie Pauline Bagh is a student at the ifs Internationale Filmschule Köln and this film was realized as part of her studies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nT’eaa’s Guest (38 min)\n\n\n\nIran / Georgia\, 2022\, Persian / English sub. Directed by Narges Kharghani \n\n\n\nThis film is about a couple and their dogs living in Tbilisi\, Georgia. They face a big challenge in their day-to day lives\, but the arrival of a guest changes everything. In her documentary\, Iranian filmmaker Narges Kharghani tells the story of two people\, their animals and a shared place\, with a humorous tone. \n\n\n\nNarges Kharghani is an Iranian filmmaker. \n\n\n\nKalopérasi: Good Times between the Bad Times (21 min) \n\n\n\nAustria / Greece\, 2020\, Modern Greek / English / English sub.Directed by Alexandra Wrbka \n\n\n\nKalopérasi: Good Times between the Bad Times captures the filmmaker’s encounters with young Greeks engaged in rebetiko music who she follows around the country. The film suggests that the uncertain socio-economic conditions of the Greek context have provided a springboard for the revival of rebetiko among young people\, fuelled by an indignation towards the state’s failure to guarantee their basic material and social needs. Instead of giving clear-cut answers and making stringent assessments\, the film opens up discourse on both the precariat and on the socio-political agency of youth through reviving this old art. Above all\, Kalopérasi shows how the making and enjoyment of rebetiko brings together and empowers these young people when seemingly little else is working in their favour. \n\n\n\nAlexandra Wrbka studied Translation Studies and Media Studies for her BA. In the framework of her MA in Social and Cultural Anthropology\, she produced her first ethnographic film\, Kalopérasi. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuebradilla (20 min) \n\n\n\nChile\, 2021\, Spanish / English sub. Directed by Víctor Villegas \n\n\n\nIn La Quebradilla of Alto Hospicio the movement of people\, objects and emotions converge\, articulated by proximity trade. An almost imperceptible ravine now houses a kilometric open-air market\, managed in urban contestation. \n\n\n\nVíctor Villegas is currently a doctoral student in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He is also founder of the audio-visual research and production company ETNOCINEMA (www.etnocinema.cl).

SUMMARY:Session V: Healing Thing(s)
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Lydia Gauss \n\n\n\nIt is not just the planet that is in need of healing\, the individuals inhabiting Earth are also looking for cures. There are various methods to deal with physical and mental pain\, and these three films emerge from different practices\, making invisible things visible. In doing so they question the boundaries between nature and culture: are the two entities actually homogenous and in a constant dialogue with each other? \n\n\n\nAlla Bua (30 min)\n\n\n\nSwitzerland / Italy\, 2021\, Italian / Swiss German / English sub. Directed by Zoë Beer \n\n\n\nIn this ethnographic documentary\, Maria\, Lele and Flavia share their personal stories of healing\, all of them connected to a historical-religious phenomena: “Tarantism” in Southern Italy. Since the 14th century the Pizzica has been played and danced to cure people from a spider’s bite. Today\, as Flavia\, Maria and Lele tell us\, it can be a cure for any physical or psychological pain\, a cure even for the troubles of a fast-paced world. To them\, the Pizzica is more than a music or dance form\, and by listening\, dancing or playing they experience “alla bua”\, a different cure\, which is connected to trance states\, visions\, the invisible and holy. \n\n\n\nZoë Beer is about to complete her BA in Social Anthropology and Interreligious Studies at the University of Berne. During her studies she has discovered her interest in ethnographic filmmaking and produced two films. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLa Dieta (21 min)\n\n\n\nSwitzerland / Peru\, 2021\, English / German / Spanish / English sub. Directed by Miriam Eigenheer \n\n\n\nThis anthropological short film is based on research conducted in the Peruvian Amazon with a curandero\, a practicing healer\, and his European patients. The curanderos administer medicines made of barks\, roots and leaves from local plants and trees to treat patients with physical\, emotional\, or spiritual ailments within the framework of a dieta (diet). To purify the body\, a dieta encompasses eating grilled fish and cooked plantains or manioc. During the time that a patient stays in the camp\, for between 10 days and three months\, they live in a hut with reduced social inputs and go through a holistic process of healing. Based on the Amazonian mestizo cosmology\, individuals are treated and taught by the espiritu curanderos (spirit healers of the plants)\, which they contact by taking the medicines. This portrait offers a sensory journey into this setting of healing and embeds the practice of la dieta cosmologically. \n\n\n\nMiriam Eigenheer studied Social Anthropology at the University of Berne and completed her MA at the Freie Universität in Berlin. Her second film La Dieta is part of her Master’s thesis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNgen (23 min)\n\n\n\nChile\, 2022\, Other\, Spanish / English sub. Directed by Jaime Bernardo Díaz Díaz \n\n\n\nThrough a contemplative and dreamlike journey\, this documentary shows us the world of Rosa\, a Mapuche machi from the town of Fin Fin Boroa\, Araucanía Region. Watching her story and observing her environment brings us closer to the deep relationship that exists between herself\, medicine and non-human beings called Ngen\, owners of nature. Alongside this narrative\, the short film also addresses the life/destruction dichotomy\, a constant in the capital/life conflict\, showing us another side of the consequences of the impact of the forestry industry in the territory of the Wallmapu that is affecting the Mapuche communities – not only in the ecological dimension\, but also culturally and ontologically. \n\n\n\n«How would we move in our environment if we knew that every tiniest pebble\, every plant\, every object is alive and idiosyncratic? Ngen approaches the Chilean Mapuche’s world view\, in which human and non-human existences form a common entity. Director Jaime Bernardo Díaz Díaz works with long shots that give the audience time to process impressions. The carefully produced soundscape brings out further facets of nature and makes it a multi-sensory experience. Ngen deals with interesting anthropological topics such as medicine and healing\, and the clash of different world views. At the same time\, it is an aesthetic experience that appeals to the senses and stimulates reflection.»— Paula Hsu on Ngen \n\n\n\nJaime Bernardo Díaz Díaz is the director\, producer and editor of documentaries. He holds a degree in Ethnology from the National School of Anthropology and History\, and an MA in Documentary Film from the University of Chile.

SUMMARY:Session IV: Archive – What do we Keep and Why?
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Lydia Gauss \n\n\n\nWhat do we keep and why? Is it about the objects or rather for the sake of remembering? An archive shows what has been preserved over time and yet many materials seem useless without the knowledge of them in memory. \n\n\n\nMelancholic Diasporas (9 min)\n\n\n\nSwitzerland / Sweden\, 2022\, Swedish / Swiss German / English sub. Directed by Anna Joos \n\n\n\nMelancholic Diasporas is an archive-based documentary on Italian migration in Switzerland. Anna Joos found some family archive of her great grandfather that depicted a part of her father’s life that was unfamiliar to her. This film shows the space the archive carved out for us to talk about this part of him for the first time. \n\n\n\nAnna Joos is a Swedish/Swiss visual anthropologist. She obtained an MA from the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology\, University of Manchester in 2019. Currently she is based at the Graduate Institute in Geneva. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLa Place des Choses / Where Things Go (75 min) \n\n\n\nSwitzerland / Belgium\, 2022\, French / English sub.Directed by Baptiste Aubert \n\n\n\nIn Belgium\, in the post-industrial city of Verviers\, Baptiste Aubert filmed a group of men who collect and repair old textile machines. Imitating their passion\, he also started a collection and began to wander around the city’s flea markets in search of weaving shuttles. Through the ethnography of these two collections\, the film Where Things Go questions the objects that cross our lives and explores our relationship to memory and the past. \n\n\n\nBaptiste Aubert works as an assistant at the University of Neuchâtel where he is completing his PhD thesis in visual anthropology. He is also a member of the anthropologist and filmmaker collective AREC (a-rec.ch).

SUMMARY:Session III: (Re) Constructing Realities
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Belinda Casparis & Katerina Vesela \n\n\n\nWhat is it that shapes and provides for our everyday living? These three films examine through a critical lens what it takes to adapt to our ever-changing\, consumption-driven society. Three different perspectives on the facts and consequences of societal challenges encourage the viewer to engage with (re)constructing realities. \n\n\n\nBulgarian Melons (8 min) \n\n\n\nSwitzerland\, 2021\, No DialogueDirected by Léon Huesler \n\n\n\nSand from Nassau\, asparagus grown on the Schwägalp and Bulgarian melons. Are they real in the economic paradise called Switzerland – and who produces them? A calm look at the relations of production. \n\n\n\n«Putting the sounds into words is difficult\, as are the images. With Bulgarian Melons Huesler has succeeded in capturing a diffuse feeling through image and sound\, although one wonders where the melons have gone…»— Sarah Wacker on Bulgarian Melons \n\n\n\n«As a combination of essayistic and artistic short film\, Léon Huesler shows us his critical perspective on the production of food and sets it in contrast with small excerpts from scenes of everyday life in Switzerland. There is no escaping the irritating squeaking of trains\, the constant whirring of irrigation systems or the annoying high-pitched beeping of transport ships. And yet it is precisely these monotonous sounds that force us to engage with the matter of the film’s subject.»— Belinda Casparis on Bulgarian Melons \n\n\n\nLéon Huesler studies video at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFalken / Falcons (9 min)\n\n\n\nSwitzerland\, 2022\, Swiss German / English sub.Directed by Damiana Rudolphi\, Ladina Braun\, Lea Studer and Jana Schlegel \n\n\n\nIn Zurich\, after a hundred years\, the waste incineration plant on Josefstrasse is being demolished. A huge construction site is now in the middle of the city. While work on the construction site goes on\, the place is revealed more and more through telephone conversations. \n\n\n\n«In the Anthropocene\, the new geochronological era\, humanity turned into an agent of change on many planetary levels. The human being as an individual remains rather unimportant in this time. With “Falcons”\, the four students from the University of Bern turn a construction site in Zurich into the main protagonist of their movie. The shots of the Josefstrasse construction site are accompanied by off-screen voices from telephone conversations with various people involved in the construction site. […] The camera\, however\, always remains far away from the action\, which is atypical/untypical for observational cinema. The distance that is created\, leads to the construction site itself becoming the object of observation as a non-human actor. […] This film is an anthropological portrait of an urban place that is currently in the midst of transformation.»— Katerina Vesela on Falcons \n\n\n\nDamiana Rudolphi\, Ladina Braun\, Lea Studer and Jana Schlegel are students from the University of Bern and realized this project as a term assignment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNot Just Roads (70 min)\n\n\n\nSwitzerland / India\, 2020\, Hindi / English sub.Directed by Nitin Bathla and Klearjos Eduardo Papanicolaou \n\n\n\nA massive urban transformation is underway in India. Highways are being constructed at an unprecedented rate of 23 kilometres per day under the Indian government’s Bharatmala (‘Garland of Limitless Roads’) programme\, which aims to open up new territories for the emerging Indian middle class. Currently\, the area is inhabited by villages\, working class communities\, and nomadic herders. It is criss-crossed by native trails and vital ecological commons. This film captures the story of one such highway outside Delhi\, from the perspective of human and non-human actors. \n\n\n\nNitin Bathla studied Architecture for his BA followed by a MA on Advanced Studies in Urban Design at ETH Zurich. His work focuses on labour migration\, land ecology\, and housing in the extended urban region of Delhi. \n\n\n\nKlearjos Eduardo Papanicolaou is a Greek/Mexican filmmaker interested in ethnography as a filmmaking methodology. He is currently based in Zürich\, where he teaches ethnographic filmmaking at the urban scale at the ETHZ.

SUMMARY:Session II: Ethnographic Film Factory – Summer Schools
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Katerina Vesela & Adamma Ezeanyika \n\n\n\nLast summer two groups of students from different Swiss universities were busy creating ethnographic short films. The Audio-Visual Commission of the Swiss Anthropological Association and the Department of Popular Culture Studies at the University of Zurich each proposed a practical summer school in visual anthropology. In just one and two weeks respectively\, the participants gained hands-on experience and experimented with the camera to create works inspired by the topics (Dis)Order and People & Things. This session gives festival attendees the chance not only to watch and discuss the films they produced\, but also to learn more about the craft of ethnographic filmmaking\, by engaging in conversation with the students and their tutors. \n\n\n\n300 portes et de la patineGhostedProduktionsloch / Production GapStadtgrünZeitzeugenDie Stimme aus dem Off\n\n\n\nAudio-Visual Commission of the Swiss Anthropological Association Summer School\n\n\n\nThe Audio-Visual Commission of the Swiss Anthropological Association proposed its third summer school of visual anthropology. By choosing the title “Beyond Observational Cinema” (MacDougall 1998)\, the organizers inscribed this practical training week with a twofold purpose. On the one hand\, students were invited to look at the legacy of observational cinema as a mode of research in the social sciences. On the other hand\, they took a step back from the representational paradigm\, examining contemporary experiments that attempt to account for social and cultural processes. In doing so\, they produced short films on the theme of People & Things. \n\n\n\nParticipating studentsAdamma Ezeanyika (UZH)\, Audrey Rosset (UNINE)\, Filippo Bozzini (UNIL)\, Jean-Nicolas Rosset (UNIL)\, Julia Lanz (UNIBE)\, Nimal Bourloud (UNIBE)\, Olivia Bianchi (UZH) \, Paloma Gude (UNINE)\, Salome Alvarez (UNINE)\, Nora Munk (UNINE)\, Vanesa Bijelic (ZH) \n\n\n\nInstructorsDr. Laura Coppens (University of Bern) Baptiste Aubert (University of Neuchâtel) \n\n\n\nExternal contributorHeidi Hiltebrand\, independent editor and screenwriter (Zürich) \n\n\n\nPopular Culture Studies at the University of Zurich Summer School\n\n\n\nThe use of ethnographic film as a research method has a long tradition at ISEK (Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies). The Summer School offered an intensive two-week introduction to this form\, taught the basics of technical and artistic approaches\, and enabled students to make a short documentary in a small team. The course was practical and hands-on\, complemented by regular discussions with participants and lecturers\, during which students looked at examples and studied aspects of film theory. The topic of the Summer School 2022 was (Dis)Order. \n\n\n\nParticipating studentsAndrea-Luca Bossard\, Arthur Sobrinho\, Inken Blum\, Jan Kohler\, Katerina Vesela\, Laura Hardmeier\, Lovina Koeing\, Naomi Ena Eggli\, Tim Hunziker (all UZH) \n\n\n\nInstructorsDr. Brigitte Frizzoni\, Managing Director of ISEK Popular Culture Studies and lecturer Daniel Rytz\, filmmakerRahel Grunder\, filmmaker \n\n\n\nThe students and the instructors Dr. Brigitte Frizzoni\, Daniel Rytz\, Baptiste Aubert and Dr. Laura Coppens will be present at the festival. \n\n\n\nCAV Summer School Films\n\n\n\n300 portes et de la patine\n\n\n\nSwitzerland\, 2022Directed by Nora Munk and Audrey Rosset \n\n\n\nBy going to meet an antique dealer who is passionate about objects and their history\, the two directors question the values defended today by the practice of this profession. Through the atelier\, garages and various corners of his brocante\, they follow him to the discovery of objects that hold the most indispensable characteristic for an object that has value – the “patina”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGhosted (9 min)\n\n\n\nSwitzerland\, 2022Directed by Paloma Gude\, Filippo Bozzini and Nimal Bourloud \n\n\n\nCollected\, catalogued\, and categorized. Sorted and stored. To be displayed in a wooden cabinet or left in the dark to slumber. But can you really contain a spirit or ghost? The present will always be haunted. “Ghosted” explores the imaginaries around objects in the ethnographic museum of Neuchâtel as well as the haunting colonial past of the city in general. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPopular Culture Studies University of Zurich Summer School\n\n\n\nProduktionsloch / Production Gap\n\n\n\nSwitzerland\, 2022Directed by Tim Hunziker and Inken Blum \n\n\n\nThe clearly structured daily routine of a freelance artist of performing arts turns into unproductiveness\, self-pressure\, and an exhausting void as soon as the last curtain falls. Production Gap follows actress Johanna Koester on one of her daily rehearsals at the theater\, depicts her mental state in the days after a show closes and explores the routines and inevitable (dis-)orders in the field of acting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStadtgrün\n\n\n\nSwitzerland\, 2022Directed by Katerina Vesela and Jan Kohler \n\n\n\nHow can humans live in urban spaces in the Anthropocene? Are alternative and sustainable ways of life possible in urban areas? The short movie Stadt/Grün (City/Green) explores this question. Two protagonists talk about their ways of taking care of an allotment garden as well as about their organizational systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZeitzeugen\n\n\n\nSwitzerland\, 2022Directed by Lovina Koenig\, Naomi Ena Eggli and Laura Hardmeier \n\n\n\nWhy is there a vest from the redcross at the collection centre of the Swiss National Museum? And how can a knitted sausage be part of that same collection? This shortfilm allows insight into a collection called “Zeitzeugen” and tells the story of these objects and the people involved with them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDie Stimme aus dem Off\n\n\n\nSwitzerland\, 2022Directed by Arthur Sobrinho and Andrea-Luca Bossard \n\n\n\nLea is a sex worker and guides us through the city of Zurich as the narrator of her personal story. She tells us about her experiences in the different spaces of sex work and how it is stigmatized. For once\, we listen to a person who is usually only talked about. Her name is Lea. Hers is the voice from OFFscreen.

SUMMARY:Session I: People & Things
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Sarah Wacker \n\n\n\nWhat things make us the people we are? What things do we need to be people? Do the things we own define our person – or vice versa? \n\n\n\nMy Friend Alexander Grigorievich (25 min)\n\n\n\nRussian Federation\, 2022\, Russian / English sub.Directed by Pavel Zelenov \n\n\n\nAlexander Grigorievich is a lonely man. Both his sons emigrated abroad many years ago: each has his own family and spares no thought for his father. His relationship with his ex-wife has gone sour: they are not interested in each other’s lives. He collects scrap metal at garbage dumps and hands it over at drop-offs\, and only his cat waits for him at home. \n\n\n\nPavel Zelenov graduated from the Tula Railway College as a locomotive assistant driver in 2006. In 2022 he attended the Higher Directing Course at the Faculty of Additional Education of St. Petersburg State Institute of Cinematography and Television. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLa Mina del Sonido / The Mine of the Sound (25 min)\n\n\n\nFrance\, 2021\, Spanish / English sub.Directed by Romina Del Rosario \n\n\n\nCesar\, musician and researcher of sounds from Chile\, takes us with him on his sound explorations. In Paris\, a few meters underground\, traditional instruments reveal what words cannot express. \n\n\n\n«The film follows more the logic of a musical piece than a narrative\, with the return to the sound study representing a kind of refrain. Off-screen elements mix with sounds produced on screen by instruments. This free handling of the sound takes the audience into a sensual-artistic space but without losing its ethnographic film background. The playful experiment thus becomes the object and means of ethnographic observation.»— Lucrezia Omlin on La Mina del Sonido \n\n\n\nRomina Del Rosaria studied sociology and cinema in France. In 2019 she attended the Documentary Editing Practice Course at Ateliers Varan. The Mine of the Sound is her first short documentary\, realized during a workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10 by 10 (29 min)\n\n\n\nUnited Kingdom / Republic of Korea\, 2021\, Korean / English / English sub.Directed by Jami L. Bennett \n\n\n\nThere is no denying the evocative power of food to remind us of who we are and where we come from. After living in Asia for over fifteen years\, Jami L. Bennett’s sister Jessica was longing for the burgers and barbecue of her native Tennessee. With the help of her husband Dongseop\, she opened an American-style diner out of her home on Jeju Island\, South Korea in 2018. After being featured on one of the country’s most popular television shows\, the couple must now adjust to the shock of their newfound TV fame\, and all this against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic. Exploring themes of food\, home\, identity\, and celebrity\, 10 by 10 is an intimate portrait of Jessica’s journey through these events as she learns to navigate the blurred boundaries between private life and public persona. \n\n\n\n«Jami L. Bennett closely accompanies Jessica\, the protagonist\, in her attempt to manifest her American identity in a foreign country. The Tennessee Table\, the couple’s self-built ten by ten room\, becomes the site of two clashing cultures.»— Adamma Ezeanyika on 10 by 10 \n\n\n\nJami L. Bennett received her MA in Visual Anthropology from the University of Manchester. Based in the UK\, she is continuing to build a body of creative and academic work.
