Directed by Joris Postema

95 min
English + English Subtitles
Free admission

Based on the struggle of the youth in Goma, Northeastern Congo, against the prevailing Western reporting of war and misery, Stop Filming Us investigates how these Western stereotypes are result of an imbalance of power. Stop Filming Us creates a cinematic dialogue between Western perceptions and the Congolese experience of reality. While the Congolese perspective becomes increasingly clearer in the film, questions arise about the perspective of the film itself; is a white director able to make a film about the new Congolese image or is it primarily a story created by his own Western perspective?

We look forward to seeing you there, and at further screenings throughout the semester! Please don’t hesitate to contact us for further questions!
