Abstract
This article traces a history of anthropological filmmaking in Vietnam. Although the subject has been taught in universities here in the past decade and support has recently increased, it remains theoretically and practically underdeveloped. Its initial growth resulted from outside influences with sparse internal funding from the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. Questions facing local anthropological filmmakers include: What is anthropological film, anyway? How does this differ from Vietnamese-style ethnographic film? Anthropological film is well situated to present the different ethnic cultures, which is in line with the government's aims, thus opening up opportunities for political and financial support for filmmaking.
