A short documentary about travelling and the desire to move. It focuses on the ideas and stories of Artesanos – people who live a nomadic lifestyle, travel around Latin America and produce their own jewellery in order to fund their lives. It questions the reasons for choosing this way of life, the significance of travelling and represents their invisibility and intangibility while moving. It is a mix of Super 8, Photographs and sound.
Barbara graduated MA Visual Anthropology at University of Manchester and Munich´s University.

After the end of the Cold War, a lot of army bases in the East Europe became abandoned. Soldiers and their families have left, roaring of fighters has died away, univited guests stopped comming to public places. How do inhabitants of the formerly adjacent villages feel about the stay of Russian soldiers twenty years later?
A short documentary Cold War Neighbours raises a question of how global events are reflected in local conditions. People, who live in the neighbourhood of a huge army base abandoned by the invaders in Hungarian Kunmadarás, talk about what the stay of the soldiers meant for them. And what their absence means for them today.
The film originated in the scope of a workshop “Anthropological Filmmaking” organised at Central European University in summer 2011.
The authors are social anthropologists who are studying or working at various universities in Central Europe. Their common interest is visual anthropology.

My grandparents have known one another since childhood. Of very different characters, the familiarity underpinning their relationship has been crafted through time. Both by the small episodes of everyday life, as well as by the longer duration of their lives.
