• This paper explores the constructive dialogue between an anthropologist/ fi lmmaker and the audience on the visualization of knowledge through anthropological fi lms. The dominant discourse in visual anthropology has paid insuffi cient attention to the general viewer's role in the construction of meanings and evaluation of ethnographic inquiry. This paper examines how viewers from different cultural/screening contexts interpret and respond to my works on musicians and children in Ethiopia. It also seeks ways to project the active voice of the audience in regard to the development of existing ideas on how local knowledge is best conveyed via visual media. I consider cases from academic fi lm festivals in Europe, screening seminars among Ethiopian immigrants in North America, discussions via blogs and university lectures in Japan. The paper focuses on the role of the audience in the formation and rediscovery of cultural identity with regard to local knowledge presented via fi lmic documentation, and explores the appropriate manner of fi lm-presentation in the form of montage and screenings, on the basis of my experience using fi lms as an educational medium.
