I Am Not Your Token
What is wrong with the representation debate in film? The Soulfuls sets the stage for a panel discussion where filmmakers from the network explore why the debate often goes round in circles.
Following the screening of ‘This is Not a French Film’, a Belgian meta-mocumentary that follows the director himself and other racialised filmmakers in a conversation about representation in the film industry, the conversation continues with The Soulfuls about the gaze that dominates the film world. The documentary balances humour with a serious look at Belgium’s colonial history and sets the stage for an important conversation about why the discussion of representation often goes round in circles.
The Soulfuls is a partner of CPH:DOX and is a non-profit organisation that works to create fair opportunities for women, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, through mentoring, networking and collaboration in the industry.
This conversation will be in English.
