Hello, I am a final year undergrad student and an independent researcher who is interested in pursuing a masters degree in film and media studies. I mainly write about film, memory and archive. I am struggling to find any research or writing positions that involve film and visual research. If anyone here is working on cool film and media papers and is looking for a research assitant please let me know
I am an aspiring researcher and still pursuing undergrads. I speak a rare language (heavily influenced by persian) that is spoken by a small population, while my language develped a script in the late 19th century but the dialect that I speak does not have a script and could not be written down because we were a nomadic tribe. My family settled in the region 300 years ago before that we would seasonaly migrate around the province. My dialect has rich history and has survived through oral traditions. We don't have written literature but thousand years old poetry is still sung, sotries are still narrated.
I want to write a research paper on my dialect and archive the oral traditions through the medium of film and audio. I am new to the field of visual antrhopolgy and still discovering the possiblities. What I want to know is how to approach this? are there any organizations, institutes, fellowships that may help me? I feel directionless and sometimes reconsider pursuing a research topic that is underresearched
