Looking Differently: Nomadic Perspective in Women's Films
following the screening of SELBÉ: ONE AMONG MANY, dir. Safi Faye and REASSEMBLAGE, dir. Trinh T. Minh-ha
Partners: Jagiellonian University, Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, The Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation, Arsenal - Institute for Film and Video Art E.V
Prof. dr hab. Małgorzata Radkiewicz and Magda Lipska will discuss the impact of women's nomadic experience on broadening the field of vision when depicting the cultures of the global South, after the screening of the films featured in the Trinh T. Minh-ha retrospective and No Master Territory section, accompanying the exhibition of the same title organised at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. Although in different ways, the two films presented in the block portray the lives of women in Senegal – Safi Faye speaks from a participatory perspective, while Trinh T. Minh-ha's film is a critique of the narrative ethnography. The guest speakers will discuss how different strategies and experiences allow for a closer look at the portrayed women and challenge the authoritative imagery in documentary films.
