Already packing for #RAI, checking this year's incredible selection of #Ethnomusicology Film Competition =>

https://raifilm.org.uk/festivals/2025/#ethnomusicology-film-competition

#HopaLide will be screened this Thursday in the Watershed Cinema (09:40 am).

If there are any #Bristol -based #VisualAnthropology fans (or indeed wanderers from elsewhere), let me know, I have two guest tickets available.

Can't wait already!

#VisualEthnomusicology #EthnographicFilm

So it's now official: my latest ethnographic film #HopaLide has been selected for the #RAI FILM Festival in Bristol. What pleasure to be part of this traditional #VisualAnthropology event!

You can either attend the screening on the 12th of June in the Watershed Cinema (starting at 09:40 in the morning – I'll be there!) or watch the film between the 16th of June and – 16th of July online (in the company of over 90 ethnographic films from 36 countries!)

#VisualEthnomusicology #EthnographicFilm

I am happy to have the opportunity to present #HopaLide at this year's #Ethnografilm, possibly the most fun #VisualAnthropology festival in the world.

Over 100 #EthnographicFilms (s), most of the people in the audience are filmmakers, and this is all set in the atmosphere of springtime #Paris. What else to wish for?

Thanks to the #CzechCentre in Paris for supporting my stay (again)!

...and finally, a little photo follow-up for this busy #HopaLide November!

Here's the picture from the seminar of the Czech Association for Social Anthropology.

We really wondered whether anyone would show up for an event commencing at 17:00 on Friday. And yet, there was a lovely crowd both on-site and online.

A big hand to the #CASA association (especially Alžběta Wolfová) for putting this event together!

I can't tell you how much I love open-air cinema. Let alone how great an experience it is to see your own film on an open-air screen, in the place where it was made, and with the people who participated in its creation!

See the pictures from screening #HopaLide in Kokava's Stará škola!

Thanks to Film Europe and Koliesko Folklore Festival for putting such a fascinating event together!

my friends, they did it: they made an all-gray cinderblock-lookin' mconald's.

this beauty was spotted in des plaines, il, a suburb of #chicago that used to have an old-timey mcdonald's just sitting there with a little mannequin inside wearing an old-timey mcdonald's uniform (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s_No._1_Store_Museum).

i wonder what philip langdon (author of "orange roofs, golden arches: the architecture of american chain restaurants" would think of this latest design turn?
