At times absurd, amusing, and serious, MEASURING DIFFERENCE documents an anthropological fieldwork excursion in Nangbah village, Northeast India. 25 Indian students from the predominantly tribal Northeast region observe the village and its residents; observed themselves by their European filmmaking classmate. The filmmaker questions anthropology as a science of difference that reinforces categorizations: race, religion, 'nativeness.' Her questions reveal as much about her own background as that of her fellow students. Observational footage, photographs, candid conversations and retrospective interviews record and reflect upon ambivalent and intimate encounters. Watching me watch others watching others might lead you to watch yourself watching.
