Edinburgh-based, bi-racial British Chinese filmmaker Paul Sng, director of last year’s EIFF closer Reality is not Enough, presents an innovative session that will discuss the generational impacts of colonialism on the moving image and ask what value judgments determine which films from marginalised communities receive mainstream funding, distribution and exhibition? The panel will examine cinema’s colonial legacy, its lasting influence on representation and industry inequality. Moving beyond critique, the conversation will focus on how contemporary filmmakers can actively decolonise their practice.
Hosted by Paul Sng with panellists including filmmakers Campbell X and Raisah Ahmad and Anthony Andrews of We Are Parable.
