RAI Film is the Film section of the Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI) – the world‘s longest-established scholarly association dedicated to the furtherance of anthropology (the study of humankind) in its broadest and most inclusive sense.
This website contains four main sections: the RAI Film festival, a selection of documentary films available via Vimeo on demand, the Ethnographic Film Catalogue and the Festival Archives. Please use the links below to browse these sections.
