A event held at The Cube on Sunday 13th October. The event starts at 13:00.


Bristol Radical Film Festival celebrates Black History Month with an exploration of racist bias in photographic technology.
One of the many ways that racism is entrenched in film culture is a technical one: the lighting for movie cameras has always been calibrated for white skin, with other production tools reflecting the same bias throughout cinema history. Three filmmakers explore the literal, theoretical, and philosophical dimensions of that reality. In a series of thematically linked, provocative discussions and interrogations, Eléonore Yameogo from Burkina Faso, Belgian van. Dienderen, and Rosine Mbakam from Cameroon chart the making of their own film, while exploring the cinematic construction of whiteness and how this relates to power, privilege, and the myth of objectivity. A film that raises interesting and thought provoking questions about aspects of technology and race.


This event is part of the Bristol Radical Film Festival 2024.
Festival passes available via Headfirst.
