August 29 - September 1, 2011
University of St. Andrews, Scotland (Ecosse, Royaume Uni)

Le festival de cinéma se tient en conjonction avec le Symposium qui a pour thème "People Over the Sea: Nordic and Scottish Perspectives" ("Les gens au-delà de la mer : perspectives nordique et écossaise").

The film festival is held in conjunction with the symposium, but this does NOT mean that we only accept films on this theme! The festival itself comprises general screenings of ethnographic and documentary films chosen by a selection committee consisting of members of NAFA. NAFA has no rules re year of release - only that films should not have been previously submitted.
