Chair(s): Simone Tarsitani (Durham University), Marco Lutzu (University of Cagliari)
This session presents films supported by the Diego Carpitella Fellowship of Fondazione Giorgio Cini (Italy). The international fellows have worked within the framework of Cini’s Eyes on Music, an initiative that aims to promote audiovisual ethnomusicology, offering researchers a fellowship that includes a grant, training, and mentoring. After a presentation of the project and some theoretical framework, this session will facilitate exploration of current challenges and prospects for the use of audiovisual media in ethnomusicological research, contributing to reflections on recent trends in audiovisual ethnomusicology (see TRANS Transcultural Music Review 27, 2023). Sweet Tassa (2019, 58’, Trinidadian English Creole / English subtitles) explores Trinidadian tassa drumming; the presentation will discuss relationships between editing and representation. Videomaking Al-Andalus (2020, 71’, Spanish / English subtitles) tells about three ‘neoandalusí’ musical groups from Granada; the director will explore the collaborative process of producing three ethnographically-based music videos. Hopa lide (2022, 90’, Slovak / English subtitles) deals with Romani music-making in Slovakia; the presentation will focus on collaborative aspects of ethnomusicological filmmaking and will discuss its benefits for Romani (self)representation. Carang Pring Wulung (2022, 63’, Indonesian / English subtitles) explores the bamboo music of Banyumas (Central Java) through the portrait of a gamelan maestro; the presentation will highlight postproduction methods to visualize features of calung music. Mantènnere (2024, 60’, Sardu / English subtitles) highlights the social significance of traditional multipart singing in a Sardinian village; the presentation will discuss how the topic of the transmission of knowledge was approached through a participatory film.
