In this seminar, a group of international students from the HU Master’s programs in Asian/African Studies, Gender Studies, Global Studies and History (both MA and BA) explored the methodological approach of visual domestic ethnography as it has been theorized by film scholar Michael Renov and later on extended by Nariman Massoumi and other authors & filmmakers. The students applied this approach to selected autobiographical family films by South Asian film directors made since the end of the 1990s. Their posters were created as part of our seminar. They also contain QR codes that can be used to view the films examined online.
