Panel Discussion on Decolonising Cinema: Focus Africa | WCF Day 2021
Hosted by Dorothee Wenner and including the Sudanese Filmmaking association, The Nest Collective, Sunshine Cinema, Cine Guimbi and Cine na Biso
“Decolonising Cinema” was the central theme of the World Cinema Fund Day, which was moderated by WCF Head Vincenzo Bugno. The consequences of colonialism are reflected in the daily life of many countries, and the topic is coming through in more and more of the projects submitted to the WCF. The WCF Day shone a light on impressive and original Latin American and African projects in different conversations and panel discussions. The following questions were discussed: To what extent has colonial history shaped certain countries and their film cultures? To what extent are colonialism and post-colonialism reflected in previous films and in current film production? Are filmmakers from the funding regions aware of this dramatic historical legacy?
(The World Cinema Fund is an initiative of the German Federal Cultural Foundation and the Berlin International Film Festival, in cooperation with the German Federal Foreign Office, with further support by the Goethe-Institut.)
