HUVisAnth

This channel is for sharing various assignments related to the work done with the Hamline Midway neighborhood in the Visual Anthropology class at Hamline University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Neighbors in our community collaborate with students on various 5-minute "micro documentary" assignments related to styles and genres of films we examine in our class. At the end of the semester students then work in groups to produce longer 10-15 minute "mini documentaries" that we share with our neighbors at a public screening at the end of the semester.

This channel was created in response to requests by neighbors to see the work done by students. All participants and students have given their consent to be filmed and to have these projects posted.

These films are not made by professional filmmakers, but students who are using films as a method of learning about films and to connect with their immediate community. They learn a lot.
