Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents
Edited video documents participation of 13 students from various Siberian locales in an ethnographic film seminar given by anthropologist Asen Balikci, from University of Montreal, and filmmaker Mark Badger, from Alaska, in the Siberian town of Kazim. The Khanty inhabitants of this town are attempting to re-establish their ethnic identity which was suppressed during the Soviet policy of centralization. This and issues involved in filming the student's own ethnic groups and their representation to a larger audience are discussed. Examples of the students' filmming projects are included.
