FORBIDDEN NO MORE...
The New China in Ethnographic Film
Film Festival and Conference
February 24 - 25, 2012
Haverford College
Organized by Maris Gillette, Professor of Anthropology
Across two days, FORBIDDEN NO MORE presents a series of films and conversations exploring the changing social landscape of China. Featuring works by ethnographer-filmmakers Tami Blumenfield, Jenny Chio, Kenneth Dean, Maris Gillette, Stevan Harrell, Benjamin Gertsen, Tik-sang Liu, J.P. Sniadecki, and Angela Zito, the festival considers contemporary China through a myriad of lenses—rural-urban relations, popular religion, gender norms and family constitution, economic privatization, ethnic minorities, tourism, political transformation, and differences between China’s coast and hinterland.
