This text articulates central issues in the relation of film to anthropology. The essays provide an overview of the history of visual anthropology, as well as commentaries on specific subjects, such as point-of-view and subjectivity, the use of subtitles, the role of the cinema subject, the difference between films and written texts and between the position of the filmmaker and that of the anthropological writer. Ultimately, the author disputes the view that ethnographic filmmaking is merely a visual form of anthropology, maintaining instead that it is a radical anthropological practice, which challenges many of the basic assumptions of the discipline of anthropology itself.
