Abstract

This issue of JAF presents five films from Greece, India, Guinea Bissau, and Cameroon. The films vary in approach and style from the sensorial Stereotype, Arjang Omrani's meditation on racial and gender judgment, to Roger Canal's Chasing Shadows, a classic observational study of an indigenous prophetic religious movement. The realities of survival migration for a teenage refugee from Afghanistan in Nikos Katsos and Christos Stefanou's film …In Between…, and Trond Waage's The World Has Not Changed, about the loss of cultural identity and the power of radio to revitalize it, are stories told through a defined protagonist. Five films with five different story-telling strategies that illustrate the breadth and diversity of anthropological filmmaking today.
