Where Are We Now? Visual and Multimodal Anthropology
This virtual conference sits alongside the RAI FILM Festival which is a biennial international event celebrating the best in documentary filmmaking from around the globe and established in 1985 by the Royal Anthropological Institute (UK). The festival showcases new work from academic anthropologists and related disciplines, and from filmmakers at all levels of experience from students to professionals. It looks for fearless films that ask difficult questions, build bridges, seek redress and promote social justice and dialogue.
The RAI FILM Festival 2025 will celebrate our 40th anniversary both in person and online.
