All films presented in the series in one way or another can be seen as case studies of visual anthropology. The tools of documentary cinema are used as methods for understanding distinct cultures, either foreign or native. Cinema has always had a privileged position as an ideological art form on the territory of the former Eastern Bloc, and these films showcase different approaches to documentary representations, starting from 1929 to the present day. The film series is followed by the roundtable “Documentary Imaginary and Post-Socialist Cinematic Lega- cies” on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. We thank the members of the the Working Group on Cinema and Television for putting together a fantastic film series. SCHEDULE Visual Anthropology Film Series I: Thursday, November 20, 5:00-6:45 The Heart of Asia: Afghanistan (Serdtse Azii: Afganistan), 1929, USSR, 60 mins, dir. Vladimir Erofeev This is a rare opportunity to see one of the most famous Soviet eth- nographic films that for decades was thought to be lost. Inspired by the German Kulturfilm tradition, Afghanistan is a compelling coun- terpoint to the more famous Soviet montage tradition. In Samarkand (Po Samarkandu), 1930, USSR, 10 mins, dir. Konstantin Gavri- ushin This short is another example of a Soviet Kulturfilm, which shows the influence of the Soviet power on the development of Uzbekistan’s an- cient capital. Introduction: Joshua Malitsky, Indiana U Q&A: Vincent Bohlinger, Rhode Island College, and Joshua Malitsky, Indiana U Visual Anthropology Film Series II: Friday, November 21, 10:00-11:45 City on Islands (Miasto na wyspach), 1958, Poland, 9 mins, dir. Jerzy Dmowski, Bohdan Kosiński An example of the Polish Black Series, this film raises social issues of post-war reconstruction of Warsaw. From Powiśle... (Z Powiśla…), 1958, Poland, 10 mins, dir. Kazimierz Karabasz Blending social themes with lyrical narrative, the film looks at the post-war problems in an old suburb of Warsaw, but eschews any social criticism
