B ased 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.
