Behind the Lens

This episode looks at a boundary that exists tangibly, that's physical. It's one that an ethnographer (or any person, really) holds in their hands and peers through. Today we're talking about the camera. What about cameras or, more specifically lenses, creates a boundary between a filmmaker and their subject? What about the camera can break other boundaries down. In today's episode, host Alejandra Melian talks to Olivia du Vergier and Malcolm Sanger about ethnographic film, art film, and all the boundaries that exist between the two.
