PROGRAMME
The theme for CULTUREELS – Ethnographic Film Festival 2021 is CHANGE.
When the theme was chosen in early 2020, nobody knew what changes the year had yet to offer. As they say, the only thing that persists is change. Still, once again, it surprised everyone.
There is a wide variety of change happening around us,
connected to many themes:
identity, roles, and gender,
agency, indigenous people and colonialism,
cultural heritage, climate change and culture,
as well as market economy and globalisation.
Welcome to see our festival online from 12th till 18th of April!
As the festival is online this year,
you are able to watch all the films at any point during the week.
All of the films are not available to watch everywhere as some of them are geoblocked and thus, some of the films are only available to watch in Finland.

ABOUT US
WHAT ARE ETHNOGRAPHIC FILMS?
Ethnographic films are a genre of documentaries
that utilizes the scientific methods and perspectives of anthropology. In turn, anthropology is a scientific discipline that takes a broad approach to understand the many different aspects
of the human experience. If you want to know more about anthropology, check our blog.
For the wider public, the ethnographic documentaries provide access to the knowledge and cultural understanding of phenomena beyond their own sphere of experience. Our goal is to provide a counterbalancing action against the voices of populism and the conformations rising from traditional and social media.
CULTUREELS – The Ethnographic Film Festival is organized by volunteers enthusiastic about anthropology.
Anthropology as an academic discipline and expertise is yet quite unknown in Finland. As organizers, our aim is to make anthropology better known also for audiences outside the Academy. Therefore, we are publishing anthropological Bachelor's and Master's theses on our blog.
We believe that a deep understanding of phenomena, context and social relations works as a valuable instrument to reinforce equality and mutual understanding in a changing world.
Our CULTUREELS team welcomes everyone to join the discussion!
