Ethnocine, a collective of visual anthropologists and filmmakers
who push the boundaries of documentary storytelling through
decolonial and intersectional feminist practice. What are the
stakes of feminist documentary storytelling during times of
authoritarian resurgence across Southeast Asia? What are the
range of methods, pedagogies, and teaching that are necessary
to sustain decolonial afterlives?

</span></font><p><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-weight:300;font-style:italic">Nobel Nok Dah </span><span style="font-weight:300">offers an intimate view into the lives of three refugee women
from Burma whose migratory paths cross in Thailand and eventually meet when
they resettle to central New York. Drawing upon methods of feminist oral history
and ethno-fiction, the film traces glimmers of subjectivity that complicate any
singular narrative of the refugee experience. As camera movements follow the
textures of everyday life and work, a weave of sensorial fragments immerses
audiences in women's narratives of self, place, and belonging." -- </span><span style="font-weight:300;font-style:italic">Ethnocine

a Korean-American visual anthropologist and filmmaker who has worked in
Thailand and Myanmar for fifteen years. Emily’s non-fiction film and
video work combines feminist, decolonial and ethnographic approaches
with impact-oriented storytelling. Emily’s short films GET BY (2014),
NOBEL NOK DAH (2015), and FOR MY ART (2016), have explored solidarity
and labor, womanhood and identity in the refugee experience, and the
gendered spectatorship of performance art, respectively. Her current
feature-length project ABOVE AND BELOW THE GROUND features indigenous
women and punk rock pastors leading an environmental movement in
Myanmar’s North. Emily is the co-founder of Ethnocine Film Collective
and Rhiza Collective and a Leadership Team member of the Asian American
Documentary Network (A-Doc). She is an Assistant Professor of Visual
Studies and Anthropology at Haverford College.<br> <br><b><b>Mariangela Mihai</b> </b>is
Romanian multimodal ethnographer and filmmaker. Her work builds on
decolonial, queer, and feminist sensory ethnography methods to
understand Indigenous resistance, borderland disputes, and refugee
issues on the India-Bangladesh-Myanmar-China borderlands and in "the
Balkans.” Mariangela’s films have screened at international film
festivals, universities, museums, and public and art institutions in
Athens, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Paris, New York, Yangon, New Orleans, Los
Angeles, DC, and San Jose. Her latest media projects include I Am A
Whisper, My Dear, a collaborative ethnofiction film exploring LGBTQIA+
activism on the Southeast Asian borderlands; and, Anatomically, the
heart is always incorrect, a multimedia play that uses autoethnography,
poetry, animation, and digital storytelling to explore Eastern-European
embodiment, politics, and heritage. Mariangela is co-founder of
Ethnocine Film Collective and a board member of The Society for Visual
Anthropology. Currently, she serves as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Global
Media and Film, in the Culture and Politics Program</span></span></font></p><img src="cid:ii_l33v815f1" alt="Ethnocine May 2022.png" width="392" height="549"><br><br><p><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-weight:300"></span></span></font></p>
