"This deeply fascinating, incisive and well-edited collection reframes the theoretical, aesthetic, methodological, ethical and social landscape of ethnographic film. These essays come across as both collectively cutting-edge and instant staple references individually - no easy feat for a book that spans geographic and disciplinary boundaries."Bradley L. Garrett, University of Sydney, Australia"Comprehensive and engaging, this Handbook is essential reading not just for filmmakers but all ethnographers. From the clarification of the ethnographic film concept, through the presentation of essential approaches and the elaboration of both theoretical and practical tools, these chapters cover the full range of issues with which every ethnographic filmmaker should be familiar."Wesley Shrum, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, USA"The contributions in this volume, while firmly rooted in (visual) anthropology, invite to take seriously the entanglements of ethnographic film with political concerns, feminist studies, posthumanism, emotion and affect theories. As such, this book is a refreshing and necessary affirmation of ethnographic film as an interdisciplinary, sensuous and critical field."Domitilla Olivieri, Utrecht University, Netherlands
