Theater - BrauhausfoyerPanel: Decolonization in Film – Challenges, Opportunities and Perspectives
How do we deal with the legacy of colonial (film) images? What role can film play in decolonization and the creation of new narratives to break with racist stereotypes and narratives? As part of this year’s Filmfest Bremen, we are showing a film and a transmedia series that deal with German colonial history in Africa, “Togoland Projections” and “The Soil of the Namib”.
Based on the two films, a panel discussion with the film teams and others will take place on Saturday, April 13, from 2 pm to approx. 3:30 pm in the Brauhauskeller of Theater Bremens to discuss the reappraisal of (German) colonial history in film. The panel will be moderated by Henning Bleyl.
Possible topics and questions that will be discussed beyond the specific films:
- What role do artistic forms of expression, including literature, film, music and art, play in decolonization and the creation of new narratives?
- What challenges and resistances exist in relation to decolonization efforts, both on a global and local level?
- What is the significance of land and resource reappropriation for indigenous communities in the context of decolonization?
This panel will be held in German.
