17 – 20 April 2025
2024 Gallery – Films may be viewed but not downloaded through April 1, 2024
Submissions are now closed for the 2025 festival on FilmFreeway. Directors of feature length films: please note that depending on the screen time available we may ask for a “broadcast length” version. This is typically 52 minutes.
Please note this not an ethnographic film festival in a strict sense. It is a nonfiction film festival–all varieties of documentary film are encouraged. If you want to get a sense of what we are like before you submit, download the full program for any of our Paris festivals. Check out any year.
Note to Filmmakers–we would love to see your films from anywhere on Planet Earth, not just premodern societies and far-away places. If you have both “feature” and “broadcast” (under one hour) length, please submit the broadcast version for a higher likelihood of acceptance.
What is the Ethnografilm festival? An interview with the Director.
After the close of each day, directors retire to a nearby bar to discuss movies, & drink absinthe. Occasionally, someone sees the green faerie.

No matter what…it’s April in Paris!
