Abstract

Interview with Peter Biella, director of the Program in Visual Anthropology at San Francisco State University, was conducted during his visit to the 5th ETNOFILM Festival (festival of ethnographic film) in Rovinj in April 2013. As an author of hypermedia projects (Maasai Interactive and Yanomamö Interactive) which contributed significantly to the development of interactive ethnography’s theory and practice, Biella hosted a hypermedia workshop in Rovinj, which focused on new digital media technologies and their application in visual anthropology. However, his recent work focuses on the so-called “trigger-films” made in cooperation with the Maasai in Tanzania. In this interview Peter Biella discusses the interrelationship between ethnographic film and hypermedia, discloses the methodology of work on multimedia projects and educational potentials of hybrid projects within visual anthropology.
