#visualethnomusicology — Public Fediverse posts

Those interested in the musical landscape of #HopaLide might also enjoy my earlier short film, "Rooted Musicians from #Klenovec". I recently had the pleasure of presenting it in Bratislava at a photo exhibition by Claude and Marie-José Carret – dear friends and photographers whose work lies at the heart of the film.

First, my article on the making of the ethnographic film Hopa lide and the question of Romani representation in documentary cinema has been published in Visual Anthropology Review.

The article explores collaborative filmmaking as a response to dominant portrayals of Roma and examines how audiovisual practice can generate anthropological knowledge. Free access for #ResearchGate users.

For those who understand #Slovak, I had the pleasure of talking with Romano fórum about my long-term research among Romani musical communities in Slovakia – specifically about my film #HopaLide, my project on #RomaniChords, the myth of Romani #MusicalBlood, and – last but not least – why Roma should have a stronger voice in researching their own culture.

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)!

Here's the poster for the upcoming screenings of Etnofilm Čadca.

For the first time this year, this 40-year-old festival changes its modus operandi, and besides Čadca, it brings #EthnographicFilm to other cities in #Slovakia, including Žilina, #Nitra, #Bratislava and #BanskaBystrica.

My latest film, #HopaLide, has been scheduled for November 12th at 15:00 in #Zilina. I'm heading there for a Q&A.

Will I see you there?

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 last ethnographic film, #HopaLide, made it back to Slovakia!

It's been a tremendous pleasure to be part of this year's n:ear festival in Banská Štiavnica.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in #ExperimentalMusic & #ImprovisedMusic. Definitely keep an eye on the upcoming edition(s).

The next Slovak projection will take place in two weeks in Kokava nad Rimavicou. Stay tuned!

I have just returned back from Ireland, where I had a chance to share my recent ethnographic documentary #HopaLide with my academic colleagues – firstly at the #BFE Annual Conference in #Cork and then at the Sounds of Dissent symposium in #Dublin.

It was a genuine pleasure to show the film to people who were so deeply engaged with my work. Thank you all for putting such wonderful events together!

More festival screenings coming up soon!

I am happy that my latest ethnographic film ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ with Romani musicians from Slovakia #HopaLide was screened at the #ICTM #AudiovisualEthnomusicology conference in Cork.

I'm sorry we couldn't meet my colleagues in person, but I thank the organisers very much for allowing me a small (almost nightly) online intervention...
