Modes of oral testimony in ethnographic film

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article proposes that the use of the term ‘interview’ to describe verbal performances offered in response to a series of questions from a film-maker is restrictive and even misleading, particularly when employed in the context of ethnographic film-making, and suggests that the term ‘oral testimony’ be used instead. It then considers a broad range of modes in which oral testimony has been employed in ethnographic film and related genres.
