But her exuberant display is quickly cut short when she recognizes that the cameraman has already lost interest in her. But all is well: he has a document of the moment. Video has tipped the balance in another human interaction, and turned it into a curio.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>This experimental video essay probes the complexities of video as a tool for cross-cultural research and representation: it examines, in effect, the politics of its own production. How does the intrusion of this expensive technology distort relationships? What are the ethnographic filmmaker's responsibilites towards his "subjects?"&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Yet perhaps these concerns are themselves distortions, preoccupations that obscure a more balanced encounter, in which human accommodation can flow in both directions.</div><div><br /></div><div><hr><br /></div><div><b>SELECTED SCREENINGS & AWARDS</b></div><div><div style=""><i>Bronze Apple Award</i>, National Educational Media Network, 1998</div><div style="">Pacific Northwest Festival of Fictional and Anthropological Cinema, 1999</div><div style="">New York Exposition of Short Film and Video, Documentary Jury Award 1998</div><div style="">22nd Margaret Mead Film and Video Festival, 1998</div><div style="">Royal Anthropological and Basil Wright Prize Screenings, 6th</div><div style="">International Festival of Ethnographic Film</div></div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/braun-kwame-c748all.aspx">Braun, Kwame</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
