Visual Anthropology Center is calling anthropologists, filmmakers and all socially engaged scientists and artists to join us for School of Visual Anthropology FIVE: FIRE!

Last year's School of Visual Anthropology produced 4 ethnographic films investigating the notion of work in post-industrial landscape. The terrain was so inspiring for everyone that it made us return to Požarevac, paying respect to its heritage of FIRE.

School of Visual Anthropology is an intensive, collaborative, interdisciplinary, hands-on ethnographic film workshop which will lead you through all stages of ethnographic film-production: from developing the idea and the methodological frame, to fieldwork and engaging the protagonists, to video post-production. The workshop ends with a screening and a panel discussion with the professors about the films and the experience of SVA5.

Visual Anthropology Center proudly announces the 5th edition of School of Visual Anthropology - SVA FIVE: FIRE.

Join us for a hands-on interdisciplinary workshop of engaged ethnographic filmmaking!
In this intensive workshop you will go through all stages of the process: from developing the idea and the methodological frame, to fieldwork and engaging the protagonists, to video post-production. The workshop ends with a screening and a panel discussion with the professors about the films and the experience of SVA5.

As a part of our initiative of creating engaged ethnographic films with local communities, and receiving great feedback from last year's participants, this year's workshop will take place in Belgrade & Požarevac.

Drawing inspiration from the name of “Požarevac” - in Serbian “požar” means “fire” or “conflagration” - this year's theme is FIRE.

As a basic element of transformation and community, Fire draws our attention to our relationship with the land and each other, to the original human experiences that are shared amongst individuals and communities all around the world. Fire should help us explore the familiar in the foreign, and the unfamiliar in the banal.

📍 Location: Belgrade & Požarevac, Serbia
📅 Dates: August 30 – September 8, 2026

Price: 1250€ (all materials & technology, accommodation, transfer from Belgrade-Požarevac & one warm meal per day included)
