Eegun Szeged

This film is the first cut of a more extensive ethnographic film that was carried out as an experiment in Szeged, Hungary by four foreign dance anthropologists who studied at the university of Szeged for nine months. They were constantly made to know and feel that they were the ‘other’ due to the rather rude staring culture in Hungary, and because of this discovered that there is a way one is perceived by others and in response, how one perceives oneself based on this. This film highlights how foreign people are termed “exotic” and stared at ‘strangely’ for their hair, fashion style, accent and skin color but stared at in appreciative amazement and awe when dressed as masquerades and parading round the city of Szeged.

Director: Temi Ami-williams (Nigeria)
