'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.
