Nordic Anthropology film Association
NAFA is an organization for cooperation within the field of visual anthropology and has been active since the mid-1970s. The institutional membership is primarily made up of social anthropological institutions and ethnographic museums in the nordic countries, plus several regional colleges and media schools. NAFA also has a growing number of individual members in the northern countries and around the world.

Its graduates have produced more than 300 ethnographic films seen around the world and it is now at the forefront of the emergent dialogue between art and anthropology, including sensory ethnography, experimental and practice-based methods, sound and performance, photographic and digital media, and art/museum installations.

This Program is educating both researchers with a background in anthropology and media professionals. The two-year-full-time Master's program comprises 120 ECTS. We offer 25 places each year.
Society for Visual Anthropology
We promote the study of visual representation and media. Both research methods and teaching strategies fall within the scope of the society. SVA members are involved in all aspects of production, dissemination, and analysis of visual forms. Works in film, video, photography, and computer-based multimedia explore signification, perception, and communication-in-context, as well as a multitude of other anthropological and ethnographic themes.
Word of Mouth
Our vision of Word of Mouth is to explore, experiment with, and furthermore challenge the boundaries of ‘world research’ through the mechanical eye of the camera. More often than not we are communicating by means of ‘word of mouth’, defined in this instance as the communication we have with each other ‘face-to-face’, or by means of other contemporary mediums of shared communication, such as photography or film.
