Abstract
This article addresses three issues. First, it examines the history of ethnographic film in Vietnam and notes the many innovations in method, practice, content and philosophy that the making of this kind of film engenders. Secondly, it examines how the adoption of a new investigative philosophy during the collaborative filming of the Chu Dong Tu Festival in northern Vietnam gave birth to an investigative strategy resulting in an innovative methodology. The third issue this article demonstrates is how the new investigative approach enables the gathering of anthropological insight and showcases historical evidence that is situated in contemporary ritual and celebration.
