An old man lives his life in a small dilapidated village. His neighbour Genyk and his daughter are the only ones who remember his name, with everybody in the village calling him "The Beard". His daughter no longer lives with him but with her husband and two children in Italy. During the week the old man is frustrated with his old age. He waits for his daughter for a year, when she visits with her family the old man asks her to shave his beard which will grow in the year of her absence.
Organised by the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain & Ireland (RAI) since 1985, it is an itinerant festival that moves biennially from one university host to another, in association with local community and cultural organisations.
The festival will be held from Thursday 13 June to Sunday 16 June 2013 in Edinburgh, hosted by National Museums Scotland and the STAR consortium. Scottish Training in Anthropological Research (STAR) is a collaboration between the Universities of Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh and St. Andrews. Over 60 new films will be screened alongside a conference 'New Observations' and a selection of special events and workshop about art & anthropology and the use of archival film.
