Stop Filming us

In the filmmaker’s choice to confront issues openly with three young artists from Goma (DRCongo), the film takes an uncompromising look at Western imagery.

'Stop Filming Us' was scheduled to premiere on 21 March 2020 before being added to the museum’s programme, but the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown decided otherwise. AfricaMuseum then invited DOXY Films, the production company, to organize a webinar for the film’s Belgian premiere, followed by a public debate.
