Intercultural Dialogue on the Visualization of Local Knowledge: Films on Hereditary Singers in Ethiopia

This paper explores the constructive dialogue between an anthropologist/filmmaker and the audience on the visualization of knowledge through anthropological films. It focuses on the role of the audience in the formation and rediscovery of cultural identity with regard to local knowledge presented via filmic documentation,
and explores the appropriate manner of film-presentation in the form of montage and screenings, on the basis of the author's experience using films as an educational medium.
