Thanks a lot to Rastko and Ger for allowing the exposure of this film "in the process" of film. It was an ideal start in the frame of a student film festival in a city like London: looking at history from the performance of an anthropologist's diaries.
Approximately 50 people attended and the [intense] discussion extended well beyond 7p.m...
Some criticized what Goldsmiths had become today (What is it today?), a critique of such projects for their postmodern nature (how can you read history from an anthropologist's diary's perspective in the streets of London, today? what authority does it give you? what is its use?). Concerns of an anthropology for direct action or simply of historical truth for others...
Meanwhile we got a positive insight, a self-reflexive look at an individual's experience of a major historical event:
Ger Duijzings's personal writings as a Phd researcher in War-time Serbia..

About 50 people attended this seminar, and as of the last seminar it only makes us which for more! We thank Emily, Jay and Yasmin for attending and presenting their work, as well as Elhum and Suzanne from the RAI for sharing their thoughts during the debate.
