Digital City Films is a film series which is an annual project for an honors course on ethnographic filmmaking offered through the UAB Center for Urban Affairs. The project instructor is Michele Forman. Teams of students plan, research, write, film, and edit short documentary films about specific ethnographic subjects in area communities.
The course began in 2000 as "Guerilla Filmmaking in Anthropology" taught by Forman and Nick Kouchoukos. The course was initially co-sponsored by the McWane Science Center which planned to use the films in its exhibit "The Street". Other instructors who have participated in the class include Janice Kluge, Loretta Cormier and Rosie O'Beirne.
