Short Abstract
:
The present paper proposal looks at the documentary film practices under the purview of visual anthropology. The rich tradition of documentary film practices of India since the establishment of Films Division of India in 1948 envisages the ethnographic films. The current digital forms of documentary practices contribute to the repository of visual anthropology and digital archives of everyday life, especially, of the people on the margins. The paper analyses these documentary practices and further describes how they contribute to the visual anthropology of the subalterns.
