Reflections on the African Screen Worlds Project – Decolonising Filmic Experience II Workshop – Keynote Address
Our principal investigator Lindiwe Dovey was the keynote speaker at the Decolonising Filmic Experience II workshop, hosted at the University of Hertfordshire on 26th June 2024.
Lindiwe’s keynote address – Reflections on the African Screen Worlds Project – is available to view below.
Decolonising Filmic Experience workshops are organised by James Harvey and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), part of UK Research and Innovation, through an award from the University of Hertfordshire’s AHRC Impact Acceleration Account.
These events are devoted to notions of decolonising filmic experience and are an attempt to bring together interested parties around the topic of decolonisation, as it pertains to accessing film viewing, making, exhibition, distribution and education.
Each workshop seeks to inquire: to what extent does decolonisation as a discourse penetrate the social worlds in which film circulates? How is filmic experience being utilised or reconfigured to frame such encounters? And, what is the relationship between decolonising discourses and anti-colonial movements, internationally?
