For the twelfth time, the Institute for Ethnology and Cultural Studies at the University of Bremen invites you to the Ethnographic Film Days Bremen. Thirteen current and international productions from the field of ethnographic film will be presented. The festival is organized as part of a seminar by students of cultural studies and is aimed at all Bremen residents interested in film and culture. 
 

This year's film selection covers a wide range of narratives and highlights cultural and social phenomena from different regions of the world. From films about confronting colonial history and social exclusion in urban areas to personal questions of memory and origin. A special thematic focus of this year's festival on the second and third days is on the topic of Ecologies and Futures in light of the human impact on the environment and climate. 
 

Over three evenings, the festival offers exciting insights into global lifestyles and invites you to immerse yourself in inspiring, thought-provoking, and captivating cinematic narratives.
