The call is not limited to any specific academic discourse or thematic restrictions. We invite students of visual anthropology, ethnographic or documentary film to submit their works covering aspects of contemporary culture and society from any geographical region. The Regard Bleu offers a platform for the discussion of student works with other students, open minded professionals and the interested public. Therefore we particularly encourage young filmmakers and ethnographic researchers to submit their debut feature.
Projects will be accepted in any language, however, we kindly ask contributors to provide subtitles in English. Films shall not be older than 5 years.
