云南大学西南边疆少数民族研究中心成立于2001年，是中国教育部设置于云南大学的全国百所人文社会科学重点研究基地之一。

本中心以民族学、人类学、历史学、政治学等主要学科为依托，以中国西南和东南亚特别是大湄公河次区域国家为重点研究区域，以少数民族或族群为重点研究对象，设置的主要研究方向有中国西南民族及其与东南亚的族群关系、经济人类学与中国少数民族经济问题、少数民族传统知识与非物质文化遗产、中国西南少数民族史与边疆史、民族学与人类学理论方法以及影视人类学、艺术人类学、生态人类学、民族文化产业等。

澜沧江-湄公河流域包括了柬埔寨、越南、老挝、缅甸、泰国和我国云南省、西藏自治区和青海省。该区域山水相连、人文相通，经贸往来密切。此外，该区域是全世界生物多样性最为丰富的34个生物多样性热点地区之一，同时也是全世界民族文化多样性最为丰富的区域之一。由于生态和人文的联系，任何一个国家或地区的变化都会带来区域性的影响，区域内的可持续发展需要各个国家的合作以建立有效的联动机制。

由云南大学西南边疆少数民族研究中心举办的澜湄影视人类学论坛是一个为纪录片作者和社会科学研究者提供的专业论坛，我们试图拓展民族志影像资料的范围，打破限制，从更多元的层面来深入探讨我们所共同关心的问题——人，以及人与周围环境的关系。根本上，我们希望在社会科学的背景下探索影像工作方法和表达媒介的更多的可能性。以此为契机，本论坛将致力于促进各个国家的学术交流与合作。

2018年7月25日-28日，我们将邀请来自澜沧江-湄公河流域的纪录片作者们前来论坛，展示他们的作品，并与观众共同探讨他们的创作观念和背景。在本届论坛中，我们将提供一场精心策划的东南亚纪录片展映活动，包括放映、问答、工作坊、展览等公众环节。

The Lancang—Mekong Anthropology Documentary Forum will be launched in July,2018

National Centre for Borderlands Ethnic Studies in Southwest China at Yunnan University (NaCBES) was established in 2001. It is one of 100 national humanities and social science establishments set up by the Chinese Education Ministry.

Ethnology, anthropology, history, political science etc. these major disciplines are the base of the Center. Therefore, we focus our key research objectives on ethnic groups and ethnicity in the key study areas of southwest China, Southeast Asia and especially, the Great Mekong Sub-region countries. The Center is dedicated our main researches to the ethnic groups in southwest China and their ethnic relations to Southeast Asia, economic anthropology and ethnic minority economic issues in China, traditional knowledge of ethnic minorities and their intangible cultural heritage, history of ethnic minorities in southwest China and history of borderlands in China, Theory and methodology of ethnology and anthropology, visual anthropology, art anthropology, ecological anthropology and ethnic groups cultural industries, etc.

The Lancang-Mekong River basin included Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Yunnan, Tibet, Qinghai Province of China. Those countries and regions are interlinked biophysically that enable massive cultural exchange and trade practice. More importantly, this region is also one of the 34 world biodiversity hotspots, as well as richness in cultural diversity. As those ecological and cultural links, any change in a single place will have a regional effect, which therefore required a regional collaboration and cooperation mechanisms for ensuring sustainable development.

The Lancang-Mekong Anthropology Documentary Forum（LMADF） is a professional platform for documentary filmmakers and social science researchers held by NaCBES， which is attempt to expand the scope of the ethnographic image and video, to break the limits, and to explore the issues we all concerned——human, and the relationship between human and the surrounding.

In 25-28 July 2018 We are going to present a well-curated exhibition of documentary films from Lancang-Mekong river countries and regions, and includes forum related public programs, such as Q&A sessions, workshops, exhibitions, workshops and so on. And we are glad to invite documentary filmmakers from Southeast Asia countries to show their works in our center, besides we’ll have some discussion about their creative ideas and backgrounds. Fundamentally, we hope to explore more possibilities of documentary method and medium in the context of social sciences.
