This degree project involves a self-reflective analysis of an Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) funded multimedia series. I produced the work in 2017, about the impact achieved in an agricultural research for development project, working with cattle farmers in Indonesia. The overarching purpose of this study is to examine how I would embed greater participation throughout my filmmaking process if undertaken again. The work is published online and comprises of five short films which are accompanied by a series of photographs and text story. I chose to examine a previously completed project of my own, knowing that it was undertaken with a limited Communication for Development (ComDev) perspective that has since been developed through my Master’s degree at Malmo University. Through my research, I seek first to identify what aspects of the previous filmmaking process were participatory; second, investigate if there is a filmmaking process that could be recommended for future use to ensure a greater level of participation among people; and third, determine if my donorfunded multimedia impact stories only serve the public relations outcomes of the development industry.
