Abstract
The question of authorship has become a serious concern among anthropological filmmakers – who is and who should be a real filmmaker, an anthropologist-director or the subject of the film? And who has the right (also moral right) to the image of a given group? Ruby explores various approaches to the problem and analyses a number of various filmmaking forms; cooperatively produced films and subject-generated films, etc. Ruby also tries to trace a particular relationship between the filmmaker and the filmed, the process of claiming the right to represent by the filmed and trends in independent anthropological cinema and mainstream cinema.
