The International Film Festival Days of Ethnographic Cinema has been held since 2009 at leading cultural and educational venues in Moscow. To date, ten successful film festivals with international participation have taken place.
The Festival is organised by Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (the Kunstkamera). It is supported by the Library for Foreign Literature, the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis and Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The film Screening Program traditionally includes films on topics such as the anthropology of labor and professions, the anthropology of religion and power, the role of traditional art in culture, urban and metropolitan life, migration processes, bodily practices, gender aspects, age markers, and many other global processes that inevitably transform the contemporary socio‑cultural environment.
The Program also features meetings with directors and filmmakers, open lectures, presentations, photo exhibitions, and workshops with leading experts in cinematography, art history, anthropology, cultural studies, and related fields.
Days of Ethnographic Cinema carries out educational and outreach activities to promote films on anthropological, ethnographic, and cultural topics, as well as to explore ways to address issues of tolerance and foster dialogue between cultures.

Our Film Festival aims to support the diversity of cultural expression through the tools of visual anthropology and to introduce a wide audience to new directions in anthropological and ethnographic cinema.
