Abstract
In this article I analyze how filming and screening rituals and other cultural performances can contribute to a process of distancing and reflection for all people involved—anthropologists, filmmakers, performers and participants. In particular I address the question as to whether such use of the camera can contribute to cultural critique, here defined as a mode of inquiry and reflection that involves the development of new concepts to grasp and influence what is emerging in the present. I argue that the use of audiovisual media is a strong method to create spaces for critical reflection and dialogue, which is a precondition for cultural critique.
