Dear colleagues,

I am writing to invite you to the first in a series of ethnographic film screenings with Q&As that we are organising in the Material, Visual, and Digital Cultures section in the UCL Anthropology Department this term!

The first screening will be next Wednesday, 21^st January at 4pm in the Archaeology Lecture Theatre, UCL.

We will be kicking off the series with Konstantinos Kalantzis's film The Hospitable Gaze: Photographers, Enemies and Tourists in Sfakia, Crete. The Hospitable Gaze is an ethnographic film that distils two decades of research in a highland region of Crete, mythologized for its rugged traditionalism. By thinking with photography, the film unpacks notions of locality, enmity, and otherness, in relation to tourism, memories of the German occupation, and concepts of tradition and hospitality. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Konstantinos and broader discussion.

Please do come along!

Best wishes,

Elena
