Experiencing Interruptions?

Farmers

Hosszúhetény situated at the feet of Mecsek is a beloved place of those escaping from the city noise. Among the newcomers arriving from Pécs we find more and more intellectuals since 1990.

In my film I follow the every day life of three families in order to identify those ideas that helped them to redefine their future.

Director Biography - Robert Gyökér

I had started my career as a professional musician. After having spent five years in the Lebanese National Symphonic Orchestra I was admitted to University of Miskolc. I gained my Master’s degree in Cultural Anthropology in 2011 with specialization in ethnographic filmmaking under the guidance of Gyula Gulyás.

Since graduation, I am conducting long-term anthropological fieldworks on regular basis focusing on the everyday life of marginalized communities living in economically depressed regions of Hungary and self-organized communities trying to articulate their values in the midst of the consumer society. The outcomes of these researches are realized as independent ethnographic films.

Currently, I am a PhD student at the Department of Ethnography and Cultural Anthropology of University of Pécs. My field of research is the examination of value systems and identity politics of self-organized communities.

As a lecturer, I am giving courses in Visual Anthropology and Application of Video Technics in Anthropological Inquiry at University of Miskolc.
