Established in 2017 at the University of Bern we have since curated a film screening program with over 100 films followed by Q&A's and other film related events in our home cinema Kino der Reitschule. Our aim is to make aspects of anthropological documentary film-making accessible to wider audiences.

 

More than just “documenting the real” visual anthropology makes full – and at times sensorial and experimental use of the medium film’s potential on a quest to frame and experience manifestations of life from different cultural and political contexts around the world. Over the years we have hosted many internationally acknowledged and emerging filmmakers and created a transformative space for dialogue at the intersections of academia, cinema and society. EthnoKino brings together diverse communities through two catalytic platforms:  Seasons and Film Festival.
