<p><strong>CENTRE FOR VISUAL ANTHROPOLOGY PRESENTS</strong></p>
<p><strong>David MacDougall, Children and Modernity Project</strong></p>
<p><em>Short films made by children</em></p>
<p>Digital Humanities Hub, 9 Liversidge Crescent, Acton</p>
<p>12.30pm Friday 19 October 2012</p>
<p>These four films were shot by children (2 girls, 2 boys)
aged 11 and 12 during the video workshop I conducted at
the CIE Government School in Delhi in March-April-May
2012. The video workshop was part of the "Childhood and
Modernity Project". The aim of the "Childhood and
Modernity" project is to produce new knowledge about the
ideas and perspectives of Indian children today, through
research conducted by the children themselves. Each
workshop group — involving up to a dozen children, from 10
to 13 years old — chooses topics that they consider
important in their own lives. After a period of training
to use video cameras, they conduct a project on their
topic for six to eight weeks, producing a film report at
the end of the workshop. It is hoped that these workshops
will not only produce fresh insights into contemporary
children's lives but also into children’s particular ways
of looking at the world.</p>
<p>The films are:</p>
<p>Children at Home - by Shikha Kumar Dalsus (30 mins)<br>
My Lovely General Store - by Ravi Shivhare (15 mins)<br>
Why Not a Girl? - by Anshu Singh (16 mins)<br>
My Funny Film - by Aniket Kumar Kashyap (16 mins)</p>
<p><strong>David MacDougall</strong> is a documentary
filmmaker and writer on cinema. His first feature-length
film, To Live with Herds, won the Grand Prix ‘Venezia
Genti’ at the Venice Film Festival in 1972. He and his
wife Judith MacDougall then produced a trilogy of films on
the Turkana people of northwestern Kenya. After making a
number of films on indigenous communities in Australia,
they co-directed Photo Wallahs (1991), a film about
photographic practices in an Indian hill town. In 1993
MacDougall made Tempus de Baristas, a film about mountain
goat herders in Sardinia. In 1997 he began a five-part
film study of the Doon School in northern India. His
recent filming has been at a co-educational school in
South India and a shelter for homeless children in New
Delhi, where he made Gandhi’s Children (2008). MacDougall
writes regularly on documentary and ethnographic cinema
and is the author of Transcultural Cinema and The
Corporeal Image: Film, Ethnography, and the Senses. He is
presently Adjunct Professor at the Australian National
University, where he is conducting the research project,
“Childhood and Modernity”.</p>
