Moderation: Barbara Off


AFRICA, I WILL FLEECE YOU, CM 1992, Jean-Marie Teno


Filmmaker Jean-Marie Teno wanders the streets of Yaoundé with his
companion Marie in search of Cameroonian culture. With snarky
humour, Teno guides us through the complexities of colonialism
and its consequences. Archive material, fictional elements and
interviews combine to create a piece of film art that represents
a new decolonialised aesthetic and a cinema of resistance.
