What message is constructed by the media and from the western cultural domain about what is happening in developing countries? Can a western filmmaker show the reality of humanitarian situations and conflict in the so-called global south? Following the screening of the documentary Stop Filming Us, the discussion in this session will be about the extent to which “good intentions” perpetuate stereotypes and can cause frustration.
The film is set in Goma, a city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the filmmaker Joris Postema faces criticism and the demands of a group of local artists and the Congolese members of his team arising from his approach to the work and his cultural prejudices.
The debate will be moderated by the Doctors without Borders Communication manager, François Dumont, with the participation of the film’s director Joris Postema, and one of the people it features, the Congolese filmmaker Bernadette Vivuya. Also taking part will be Sílvia Omedes, director of the Photographic Social Vision Foundation.
This event will be in Spanish, Catalan, English, French with simultaneous English, French, Catalan, Spanish translation services.
