Dear Vaneasa members,


We are thrilled to announce that submissions are now open for the 6th
edition of the *VIZANTROP Ethnographic Film Festival* in Belgrade, Serbia!
We invite filmmakers and researchers with innovative and analytical
approaches to cultures and societies to submit their works.

*Open call for sixth edition is open until 1st of September*

Submissions are free of charge.

Apply your movies here!


The past few years have been marked by wars and human suffering around the
world. Therefore, the vision of this festival is to highlight the problems
of communities that are rarely visible and the problems that are neglected
by state apparatuses and their violent instruments.

Engaged ethnographic filmmakers capture the pulse of social change,
documenting grassroots movements, protests, and resistance efforts. By
chronicling moments of collective action and resilience, these films
inspire hope and solidarity in the face of adversity.

Film, like most media, has once again become an indisputable weapon of
propaganda. Therefore, our invitation is addressed to visual
anthropologists, sociologists, social researchers, and all cultural workers
for whom the camera is an instrument. We encourage them to send us their
reflective and observational films, which we consider very valuable in the
21st century.
