GURUNG LIFE IN FILM

home

 

The films shown here are a small sample of the many we have taken. Most are of people in the village of Thak in Kaski, and centre on the family with whom we lived on visits over a number of years. We have given diary extracts which explain the background to the films and when they were taken, and also the video log.

The Gurung project within which the films were made is briefly described

Accounts on how the filming was done:
'Advice on fieldwork filming in the Himalayas'

'Changes in film technologies and their effects on anthropological filming'
