description The increasing interest of anthropologists in the study of popular culture and the spontaneously generated texts of Serbian authors, later collected into edited volumes, have made the editorial board of Issues in Ethnology and Anthropology choose the anthropology of film for its thematic issue in 2017. Quite accurately – the anthropological study of feature, non-animated films. Aside from this specification, the editorial board had given instructions to the potential authors that the only methodological restriction would be that the analysis must pertain to one film. While not negating the possibility of parallel analyses of multiple films, but also keeping in mind the descriptive nature of many texts that deal with such analogical approaches, the editorial board had, following the suggestion of the editor in chief, chosen to have the thematic issue focus on scientific analyses of individual films which could be interpreted through a number of theoretical and methodological approaches, such as formal, genre, narrative-semantic, semiotic, contextual etc. The second volume of the journal in 2017, with thematic issue Anthropology of Film Part I, included analysis of foreign films. These were: Miracolo a Milano (1951), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Westworld (1973), Gattaca (1997), Happiness (1998), American Gangster (2007), The Lobster (2015), and Men and Chicken (2015). This fourth volume of the journal for 2017, with thematic issue Anthropology of Film Part II, publishes six papers dealing with the analysis of domestic, Serbian films. These are: Nešto između (Something in Between 1983), Video jela zelen bor (Dear Video 1991), Ringeraja (Ring a Ring O’Roses 2002), Montevideo, Bog te video (Montevideo, Taste of a Dream 2010), Enklava (Enclave 2015) and Bez stepenika (Stairless 2015).
