Hello Kitty, First thing that comes to mind is Trinh T. Minh-ha's films from the mid-80s= , _Reassemblage_ and _Naked Spaces: Living is Round_, which are very much a= bout the position of the filmmaker in relation to the ethnographic subject = (in both cases, village life in various West African locations). Both are s= treaming on Kanopy (along with two more, _Surname Viet Given Name Nam_ and = _Forgetting Vietnam_).
More recently, Sky Hopinka has been producing a whole bunch of short films = over the last decade doing some new form of ethno-documentary in an experim= ental mode; a bunch of them have passed through Mubi over the last couple y= ears but the only one I know of that's currently on the net is _Malni_, whi= ch is on Kanopy for free or Amazon for rental.
