Z organizacijo rednih mednarodnih srečanj in ustanovitvijo CVA Review ter pozneje Visual Anthropology je omogočil, da smo se mlajši vizualni antropologi labko učili od uveljavljenib starejših. Pri ...nas je objavil članek v prvi mednarodni številki Glasnika SED.1 Med letoma 1966 in 1968 je bil sopredsednik Programa za etnografski film (PIEF), med letoma 1983 in 1993 pa predsednik Komisije za vizualno antropologijo, pridruženi urednik revije 1 Visual Anthropology (1986-1993) in urednik CVA Review (1986-1993). Dragi Asen, pogrešal bom tvoj grleni bariton in tvojo tehtno razlago osnovnih pojmov etnografskega filma, ki danes veljajo za klasiko. 1 Asen Balikci: Some new Trends in Visual Anthropology.
Visual ethnography is a kind of ethnographic filming which aim is to
gather visual information and to help analyzing the data in the process of a research.
It can help also to enhance communication ...between researcher and his subjects
in the field or between researcher and the audience. Because of the prevailing
use of a camera visual ethnography is called also camera-ethnography.
This field of anthropological activity is raising different questions. The basis
of visual literacy in this case is a general cinematographic language. First question
is: how much knowledge does a researcher need to have if he or she is using a
camera in the field?
What is the difference between TV production of documentary and the
production of visual ethnography? How to construct a visual narrative to keep a
relevant information about the culture in question and how to avoid the stress on
emotional experience and dramatic suspense, characteristic for artistic or commercial
filmmaking? New visual technology is opening many new possibilities in approaching
people. How close can we go in approaching people not to step over the
thin line of unethical behavior?

Slovenia has a diverse range of ethnographic film, visual anthropology and visual research. Visual production includes ethnographic and documentary film, as well as emerging genres such as videos ...produced for museum exhibition and student video works. Commentary on these productions focuses on the difference between documentary and ethnographic film, and on the difference between ethnographic films and visuals works made for research. Much visual media created for Slovene ethnological purposes stores images of a culture as a kind of inventory or list that is structured according to professional standards. Visual ethnography is a specific way of researching culture with the help of a photo or video camera. There is no need for a researcher to be a filmmaker in a classical sense. Rather, it is sufficient that the researcher be skilled in shooting and flexible in the use of the camera under different methodological circumstances.
