Martin Gruber is a researcher, lecturer and filmmaker in the Department of Anthropology and Cultural Research of the University of Bremen.

"A welcome guide through the history and ideas regarding collaborative filmmaking that emerged from shifting paradigms in ethnographic filmmaking, the emergence of Indigenous media, and the field of participatory video. Laying clear groundwork that shows a decolonial path through important fields, Gruber provides an insightful framework for the practice of ethnographic filmmaking at its most collaborative and creative, using his own thoughtful media projects made with his research partners ... His clear writing, sophisticated command of several fields, and generous approach to filmmaking make Gruber's book a welcome addition for a wide range of readers across the fields of anthropology, documentary studies, and filmmaking." Faye Ginsburg, Kriser Professor of Anthropology and Director, Graduate Program in Culture & Media, New York University. "Sharing the Camera is an impressive and valuable addition to written studies of collaboration in ethnographic filmmaking ... The book is judicious in tone and is written in clear, undogmatic language, free of academic jargon. It is both practical and intellectually nuanced, addressing questions of production and reception as well as those of authorship, authority, ethical practice and interpersonal relationships in the field. It will be essential reading for anyone contemplating the use of video cameras in future research projects." David MacDougall, Honorary Professor, Research School of Humanities and the Arts, Australian National University
