On 13–14th of February 2025, I organised a #Hackathon on #RomaniChords that explored various methodological avenues for my #MSCA project’s data acquisition.

Here’s a short thread summarising what we dealt with and achieved during these days.

CCying everyone interested in #Ethnomusicology, #Musicology, #ComputationalMusicology, #MusicScience, #RomaniStudies, #RomaniMusic and alike.

Let’s jump right into it!

A couple of pictures from last week's screening of #HopaLide @ #Ethnofilm in Žilina...

The turnout was amazing. I was impressed to see how many of today's students are interested in ethnographic cinema!

Kudos to everyone involved in putting this great event together (not an easy task considering the current political climate in #Slovakia)

A group photo of 10 people taken in front of a university building.

People watching an ethnographic film on a university campus.

A young audience (people in their 20s) is keenly listening in a university space.

Four people are sitting in front of a big screen saying, "23. MFF Etnofilm Čadca - Žilina - Bratislava - Banská Bystrica - Nitra. They are discussants for a festival Q&A.

... and here's also a little photographic follow-up from the latest #HopaLide screening @ Academy of Romani Studies in Prague.

I enjoyed the discussion very much, and I was especially grateful for the feedback from my Romani colleagues...

November with #HopaLide continues; there are more screenings coming – one in #Cagliari ( #Sardinia, #Italy) and #Prague ( #Czechia). Just scroll-up this thread for details...

There are so many exciting opportunities to watch my latest film a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ with Romani musicians from Slovakia that I need to make a whole thread about them! Check these out, as there may be one close to you!

Illustration for the film. There is a drawing of a cimbalom (dulcimer) player. The poster says: "Hopa lide: a collaborative documentary devised by Petr Nuska.... Romani musicians in the role of film directors."
