Round table: Workshop "Cooperation on the screen"

The Thirs sector often finds that films dealing with global justice and human rights issues (both documentary and fiction films) are very often made from a Western point of view and do not incorporate the vision of the people and realities they want to portray: stories of the white savior aid worker, stereotypes of poverty, simplification of characters and realities. Good faith is not enough to approach these realities, it is necessary to enter into dialogue with the entities working in the field and with the communities portrayed in order to include them in the conception of the project from the beginning and promote cultural effectiveness.

Acció>Cinema, a project promoted by the Agència Catalana de Cooperació and Catalunya Film Festivals, proposes, through Lafede.cat, a gathering and a talk to try and eliminate the unconscious prejudices and bad habits we may have towards these issues in order to incorporate a post-colonial perspective to our projects.
