Argonauten des Alpenvorlandes

The filmmakers wanted to tell a story about life in a little village in Upper Bavaria, about its customs and traditions, and specially about the people who live there. But soon they had to realize that their contact with the locals hasn’t gone far beyond drinking together in the beer tent. They started to wonder, how to capture the essentials of their protagonists. How do you successfully conduct an interview? What are the ethical implications of having film material at your command? And
after all, what is an anthropological film? „Argonauts of the Alpenvorland“ is a self-reflective and humoristic
how-to or, rather, a how-not-to meditation on anthropological film-making.
