Welcome to Barrie Machin Ethnographic epublications, video channel and fine arts.
"Barrie Machin has worked in his own pioneering super 8 and portable video and
has amassed a unique and impressive body of work, which he is now making available via the internet .
The films were not made for broadcasting but work well on computers and tablets which makes them particularly relevant for today's massive expansion in the use of such devices.
His work includes a complete set of Sri Lankan rituals to be found nowhere else as far as I know.
There is also historical footage from Crete, which accompanies two forthcoming monographs
about Death Rituals in Crete and the other a multimedia portrait of a Cretan Mountain village.
There are also rare videos about the Nambiquara the Amerindian people written about by Claude Levi Strauss.These films are ideal for teaching in Universities and schools but many of them will appeal to a wider audience.
Highly recommended."

North of Ithaca Eleni Gage
A wonderfully rich, unpretentious, funny and perceptive account of Greek village life.
Eleni Gage is a gifted writer and ethnographer who manages to convey the rich texture of Greek religious life better than most serious books of anthropology. This is the best book of its kind I have read and that includes the work of Patrick Leigh Fermor.
