Abstract
The paper presents an overview and practical experience of attending the workshop “Ethnographic Experiments” organised by Kinoklub Zagreb and University College London, 2022/2023, which, upon completion of the theoretical part, resulted in practical exercises – the making of short ethnographic films, including the film “Proba” / “The Rehearsal”, whose premiere was held in May 2024. The latter attempted to approach the research on Deaf culture as inclusively as possible, i.e. in co-creation with the community. Irrespective of the difficulties encountered, valuable connections and relationships have been developed between the narrators and researchers as a guarantee for the continuation of active co-operation in the future.
