The Tromsų Series consists of films produced by the programme in visual anthropology (Visual Cultural Studies) at the University of Tromsų (Norway). The programme (see http://www2.uit.no) emphasises film and other audio-visual tools for successful communication between researchers and local/global communities/networks. The programme is international and students - with different academic backgrounds - come from countries all over the world. They receive training in using a camera in the research process with a focus on anthropological methods. The films produced by the programme are used for teaching purposes at universities, colleges, high schools, and at academic conferences. Most of the films are screened at different international film festivals, many of them having received prestigious awards and prizes.

The DVDs in this series are for private and educational (non-commercial) use only. For any other use please contact the programme directly.
