Goal

Start conversations on the cultural framework of the screened films.

Objectives

To enrich the film experience of the audience by supporting it to be more whole, bidirectional, multi-layered and collective. 

To put the cultural framework of the film into context.

To deepen the dialogue of the key themes raised by the film.

To present the “anthropological gaze” and to narrow the distance between the discipline and the general public.

To bridge cultural gaps through conversations.

What is the anthropological gaze?

To look at stories through the prism of “culture”.

Understanding how the subjects create their narratives by using, transforming or denying the underlying symbols, structures and patterns of their cultural background. 

To explore individual and collective identities.

Why do we think this is important?

The anthropological gaze allows us to understand someone else’s position and drive.

It enables us to create a close dialogue between distinct cultural groups, as opposed to raising conflict.
