in Toronto, Canada, and Paris, France, Monde Moderne ethnographic
research and video production studio is the creation of Bruno
Moynié, an anthropologist and ethnographic filmmaker.
Bruno holds two Master’s Degrees: one
in Social Anthropology (Aix-En-Provence University, France) and
one in Ethnographic Film (University of Montréal, Canada).
This unique background places Bruno in a class
of his own. He is one of a handful of anthropologist filmmakers
working in the marketing research industry. Most research firms
deliver PowerPoint presentations or written reports. Monde Moderne
Ltd. delivers broadcast quality, empathic ethnographic films that
speak for themselves.
A
-strong background in television
and commercial production has provided Bruno with the skills necessary
to deliver compelling ethnographic documentaries using broadcast
quality video recording and editing tools and techniques at an
affordable rate. Bruno’s cross-cultural and consumer research
projects have taken him through Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa,
and the Americas.
Monde Moderne ethnographic films
are produced in-context – at home, at work, at play –
where the exigencies of daily life intrude and bring to light
otherwise unseen and unheard realities. When appropriate, this
participant observation is supplemented by ethnographic depth
interviewing.
The authenticity and sensitivity
apparent in Monde Moderne Ltd. Ethnographic films reflect Bruno’s
empathic filming style and his company’s ongoing commitment
to both the academic and business worlds. The concurrence of observational
research conducted in-situ, skilled interviewing, and cultural
analysis allows for the discovery of deep insights not available
through other means.
M
onde Moderne provides its clients with a network of resources
that combine world-class anthropological research capabilities
with broadcast-quality ethnographic film production at the best
cost.
Throughout the years and around the world, Bruno and his associates
have conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews on the field.
The company's production team is experienced in building rapport,
scouting research and filming contexts, and finding research participants
whose real-life experiences and narratives provide the raw material
for the ethnographic films produced.
Monde Moderne is a strategic partner
to Pacific Ethnography (PacEth anthropology & design) for
whom it provides broadcast quality ethnographic video research
and production. PacEth is a Los Angeles based research firm with
offices in Chile, China, and India.

M
onde Moderne's work has ranged from documenting oral histories
in the workplace for a major European steel production group to
portraits of famous Canadian writers to capturing the lives of
average Canadian beer drinkers. Bruno has worked with diverse
people and in diverse contexts – from Canadian teenage girls
with eating disorders to African immigrants in Paris.
In 2007 Bruno was invited
by Dominique
Desjeux to present the work of Monde
Moderne at the Sorbonne University in Paris at an international
seminar on ethnography and its application to marketing research
as well as in Montreal for the Marketing Research and Intelligence
Association. |
