Synopsis
'It Would Be Nice to Follow You: Pregnancy, Walking and Filmmaking in the Athenian Cityscape' is a 12-minute collaborative ethnographic film created by Igor Karim with Violetta Koutsoukou and Kostia Lennes.
The film employs sensory ethnographic methods to explore the embodied experience of pregnancy through the act of walking in urban Athens. It attends to the rhythms of the body, the textures of the city, and the intimate negotiations between a pregnant woman and her environment.
Presented at the 'Visualising the City' event at Glasgow School of Art, the film was followed by a discussion on the methodological implications of walking as a research practice in urban visual anthropology.
