Description

Anti-colonialism is a political and intellectual movement that opposes colonizing one country or group of people by another. It is rooted in the belief that populating one group with another is an unjust and oppressive practice that should be resisted and ultimately eliminated. Anti-colonialism seeks to dismantle colonial systems of control, exploitation, and cultural imposition and to restore self-determination and independence to colonized nations and peoples. The art of filmmaking can be a powerful medium through which anti-colonialism is imagined, explored, and communicated. The art of filmmaking can play a crucial role in conceiving and communicating anti-colonialism by shedding light on historical injustices, amplifying the voices of the colonized, celebrating cultural diversity, exploring intersectionality, fostering global solidarity, and challenging established narratives. Through storytelling and visual representation, filmmakers can contribute to the broader discourse on anti-colonialism and inspire positive change. Join instructor Rosalind (Roz) Norman DMgt to explore how this can be achieved.
