Ethnographic Filmmaking is a methodological approach within anthropology and sociology that combines film production with ethnographic research. It involves documenting cultural practices, social dynamics, and everyday lives of communities to provide a visual and narrative medium for understanding human societies. Ethnographic filmmaking is a type of documentary film that uses a camera to record and analyze cultural practices and social interactions. It's a visual representation of anthropological practices and is often associated with visual anthropology. Ethnographic films are often made using tape and digital mediums, rather than celluloid film. They are informed by the theories, methods, and vocabulary of anthropology. Some say that ethnographic films are a form of academic research, intended for an audience of anthropology scholars. However, others say that the term has become more emblematic, and that ethnographic filmmaking is not a discipline with a unified methodology.
