Dear all,

In the context of a documentary research dealing with Akha people from 
Northern Laos, I am looking for an Akha/English or Akha/French speaker.

My project focuses on the mutations taking place in a small and remote Akha 
village located in Phongsali province, near the China border. As a young 
documentarist, I am personally very sensitized to the teenage Akha generation 
and how they see themselves between a still secluded and archaic way of life 
and the promises of modernity coming from the outside.
Last year, I have spent a few weeks in this village, until a close relation 
with the villagers was established. I can speak Lao to a certain extent, but 
it proved to be unsufficient to have a real communication going on with Akha 
speakers.

I now need to go back to the village and carry on my research with an 
interpreter. I am looking for someone who could become my closest colleague 
and companion during my next research trip.

In order to make this project possible, I have received funding from the 
Belgian Film Commission and I work within the frame a professional 
Brussels-based film production company.

Could you please forward my message to any competent person you may know ? Any 
help, information or comment will be most welcome !! Please feel free to 
contact me using the following email adress : nicolasgraux at hotmail.com.

Thank you very much.
