The event also used to take place on the premises of the [[Scientific Research Centre (ZRC SAZU), Slovene Academy of Science and Arts|Scientific Research Centre (ZRC SAZU)]], at the [[Slovene Ethnographic Museum]], [[Kinodvor Cinema]] and the [[City Museum of Ljubljana]].
  
 
==Background==
 
==Background==
As etnographic film, with history dating back for at least a century, is a very specialised subgenre of the media and is rarely seen outside the specialised public, the first more abitious public screening event was organised in 2001, when dr. Nadja neki, now also one of the organisers of DEF, put up the first Ethnovideo marathon, showing htthe current production from the past two years. The next few Ethnovideo marathons happened in the years 2004 - 2006 and were already extended to two days because of the vast selection of avaiulable material. The institutions that contributed material were vdiovizualnem laboratoriju ZRC SAZU, Muzeju novejše zgodovine Celje, Goriškem muzeju in SEM; besides them, the second day was posvečen to students films. The differentiation and the place - SEM, laid down the foundation for the next step, the five day international Days of Ethnographic Film.

Ethnographic film, with a history dating back about a century, is a very specialised subgenre and is as such a rarely seen and hard to find form of video production. To present its uses, horizons and even existence outside the specialised, mostly scientific community (and the sporadic television broadcasts), the first more ambitious public screenings were organised in 2001, when the first ''Ethnovideo Marathon'' was set up.

It presented current Slovene ethnographic film productions by institutions such as the [[Audiovisual Laboratory, Institute of Slovene Ethnology]], the [[Goriška Museum]], the [[Celje Museum of Recent History]], the [[Slovene Ethnographic Museum]] and various amateur associations. A second programme section was also set up which screened only films made by students.
 +
 
 +
As the marathon evolved and a decent public interest was found, the idea of extending it into an international festival with a much more ambitious scope led to the first edition of the Days of Ethnographic Film in 2007.

For years the festival's director was [[Naško Križnar]], among other things a professor of visual anthropology and himself an ethnographic film maker for more than four decades.

==Programme sections==
The festival is always trying to present s balanced selection of international repertoire and local films. Its prefered film length is 40 minutes, which enables the programme to be dynamic and colorfoul representation of the various technical and strategic ways etnographic film can work. Following the templetae set by its precedeesor, the festival presents its screenings in four sections, which our at least partly followed but sometimes also divided into subsections.
 
 
The first section is reserved for student films. Some are made during the students faculty studies and can represent the first steps towards serious scientific use of the media, where FF represents the foremost learning poligon. Other are already mature works that vary from microcase studioes to more ambitious, even activistic pristopi.
 
  
"Research footage" figures as the second section. It used to also feature visual footage with commenatrie commentaries by the authors and was more of a look into thew work in progress, but has now been widened into a moree sprejemajočo VIsual etnography.

The festival has a non-competitive programme which tries to present a balanced selection of international and local productions, as well as student and professional films. It showcases films of different length, as the organisers strive to give a dynamic and colourful representation of the various approaches and methodologies of the ethnographic film genre.
  
In the context of special programme, focus has till now been given to posamezni authors and researchers (the photographer Stojan Kerbler), to posamezni spatialo contexts (Barcelona) or countries (Slovakia). An additional section posvečena to museums also appeared once.

[[Days of Ethnographic Film|DEF]] presents an unbound scope of themes such as intangible heritage, social tensions, particular social groupings, political activism and artistic practices.

ter dosegel vrhunec s podelitvijo nagrade Nika Kureta za zaslužke pri razvoju etnografskega filma in vizualne antropologije v Sloveniji. Današnja etnografska filmska produkcija v Sloveniji je namreč rezultat prizadevanj etnologa Nika Kureta, ki je konec petdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja postavil temelje za znanstveno uporabo filma in bil eden prvih sodelavcev mednarodnega odbora za etnografski film.

Obema je skupno to, da sta vizualna antropologa, ki imata za sabo več člankov v znanstvenih glasilih in vodenje Poletne šole vizualnega v Novi Gorici.

Venues

The event is currently taking place at Slovenian Cinematheque. The event also used to take place on the premises of the Scientific Research Centre (ZRC SAZU), at the Slovene Ethnographic Museum, Kinodvor Cinema and the City Museum of Ljubljana.

Background

Ethnographic film, with a history dating back about a century, is a very specialised subgenre and is as such a rarely seen and hard to find form of video production. To present its uses, horizons and even existence outside the specialised, mostly scientific community (and the sporadic television broadcasts), the first more ambitious public screenings were organised in 2001, when the first Ethnovideo Marathon was set up.

It presented current Slovene ethnographic film productions by institutions such as the Audiovisual Laboratory, Institute of Slovene Ethnology, the Goriška Museum, the Celje Museum of Recent History, the Slovene Ethnographic Museum and various amateur associations. A second programme section was also set up which screened only films made by students.

As the marathon evolved and a decent public interest was found, the idea of extending it into an international festival with a much more ambitious scope led to the first edition of the Days of Ethnographic Film in 2007.

For years the festival's director was Naško Križnar, among other things a professor of visual anthropology and himself an ethnographic film maker for more than four decades.
