Filmmaking is a visual method that provides a unique opportunity for generating knowledge, but few studies have applied filmmaking in public health research. In this article, we introduce Collaborative Filmmaking as a public health research method, including a description of the six steps for implementation and an illustrative example from Nepal. Collaborative Filmmaking is an embodied, participatory, and visual research method in which participants are trained to create, analyze, and screen films to answer a research question. The method is useful for exploring sensitive health topics and providing nuanced insight into practices, relationships, and spaces that are difficult to capture using existing methods; however, its use requires close attention to ethical considerations. Building upon the trajectory of other visual and community-based research methods, Collaborative Filmmaking is valuable for gathering granular details and sensory data, co-analyzing data in partnership with participants, and producing participant-generated films that serve as powerful and authentic advocacy tools.
电影制作是一种提供独特知识生成机会的视觉方法，但很少有研究将电影制作应用于公共卫生研究中。在本文中，我们介绍了协作电影制作作为一种公共卫生研究方法，包括实施的六个步骤的描述和来自尼泊尔的一个实例。协作电影制作是一种体现、参与和视觉研究方法，参与者接受培训以创作、分析和放映电影来回答研究问题。该方法可用于探索敏感的健康主题，并深入了解难以使用现有方法捕捉的实践、关系和空间；然而，其使用需要密切关注伦理考虑。在其他视觉和基于社区的研究方法的基础上，协作电影制作有助于收集详细的细节和感官数据，与参与者合作共同分析数据，并制作参与者生成的电影，作为有力和真实的宣传工具。
