Events
RAI FILM offers a dynamic program of events that explore the intersection of anthropology and documentary film.
We regularly host screenings that bring together filmmakers and anthropologists for thought-provoking discussions, combining academic insight with public engagement. These events often take the form of public seminars, offering unique opportunities to engage with leading voices in both fields. Many are organised in collaboration with universities and cultural institutions, enriching the conversation around the role of film in anthropological research and storytelling. Whether you are a scholar, filmmaker, or simply passionate about documentary film, our events provide valuable insights and opportunities for meaningful exchange. Explore our archive to discover detailed records of past screenings, seminars, and collaborations that reflect RAI FILM's commitment to fostering intellectual and creative dialogue.
