NAFA Nordic Anthropological Film Association


The Nordic Anthropological Film Association (NAFA) is an organization for cooperation within the field of visual anthropology which has been active since the early seventies. 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 north and around the world.
NAFA acts as a network of anthropological researchers, film makers and academic institutions. As an information service to members, the newsletter NAFA-network is sent out 6-8 times a year, giving news on developments in visual anthropology in (and outside of) the nordic countries. NAFA-network is available in several formats: as e- mail, FAX (for those who don t have network access), or as printed copy sent by post (for those who have neither e-mail nor fax)
