For those who understand #Slovak, I had the pleasure of talking with Romano fórum about my long-term research among Romani musical communities in Slovakia – specifically about my film #HopaLide, my project on #RomaniChords, the myth of Romani #MusicalBlood, and – last but not least – why Roma should have a stronger voice in researching their own culture.

Hopa lide: film a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ with Romani musicians from Slovakia

Is it already cold in #Prague for an open-air cinema? Well, not for #HopaLide !

Thanks Metaculture, for organising another fascinating screening of my film in my hometown (home-quarter, in fact) and thanks to all brave people who showed up despite the autumn was definitely creeping up!

#VisualEthnomusicology

...it's been exactly one week since I returned from the #RAI festival, and I'm still feeling a bit of nostalgia that this superb #VisualAnthropology event is over.

... it's been an immense pleasure that my #EthnographicFilm a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ with Romani musicians #HopaLide was part of the 2025 edition!

... if you missed the event, you can still catch up easily! The online edition is on until 16/07/2025 => https://festival.raifilm.org.uk/library.html

80 fantastic films for £50 (£25 for underwages) seems like a great deal, no?

My working space is very tight this time. My companion is of a larger stature, so she is not particularly happy to see that I embarked as she lost much of her space.

Power sockets are on the window’s side, so I cannot really use them.

There is absolutely no Internet signal. So, I delve into work I can only do in such a tiny space – graphic assets for my film #HopaLide while listening to podcasts.

Already packing for #RAI, checking this year's incredible selection of #Ethnomusicology Film Competition =>

#HopaLide will be screened this Thursday in the Watershed Cinema (09:40 am).

If there are any #Bristol -based #VisualAnthropology fans (or indeed wanderers from elsewhere), let me know, I have two guest tickets available.

Can't wait already!

#VisualEthnomusicology #EthnographicFilm

So it's now official: my latest ethnographic film #HopaLide has been selected for the #RAI FILM Festival in Bristol. What pleasure to be part of this traditional #VisualAnthropology event!

You can either attend the screening on the 12th of June in the Watershed Cinema (starting at 09:40 in the morning – I'll be there!) or watch the film between the 16th of June and – 16th of July online (in the company of over 90 ethnographic films from 36 countries!)

#VisualEthnomusicology #EthnographicFilm

I am happy to have the opportunity to present #HopaLide at this year's #Ethnografilm, possibly the most fun #VisualAnthropology festival in the world.

Over 100 #EthnographicFilms (s), most of the people in the audience are filmmakers, and this is all set in the atmosphere of springtime #Paris. What else to wish for?

Thanks to the #CzechCentre in Paris for supporting my stay (again)!

... and this time, we were lucky to have Vladimir Sendrei – one of the protagonists of #HopaLide – for a Q&A.

He managed to fill the entire cinema with laughter and a positive atmosphere (just before getting on a night train to catch up with another music gig... how significant for him!)

The discussion was moderated by Dominik Hronec who has helped immensely with organising this event. Many thanks to him (and the Edison Filmhub team!)
