In the public discourse format “THE ART OF COLLABORATION – Migration & Diaspora“, African and European filmmakers and multipliers address questions around (Afro)-diasporic filmmaking in various discussion rounds and a roundtable. Questions about identities, narratives and backgrounds and the mutual influence of the diasporic community and the majority society on the film language will be raised and the cooperation and networks for transnational filmmaking will be highlighted. Related to this are discussions of what stories diasporic filmmakers want to or are able to tell in their films. Production and financing opportunities and the current challenges related to co-productions in transnational cinema will be discussed at the roundtable.

A brief introduction to the practice of self-presenting cinema. The concept of self-representation is originally based on an emancipated method and is rooted in the subjectivity of the individual artist and citizen. A peripheral body is essentially interested in acting and changing the global spaces surrounding it, as it is itself a body in transit.
Keynote by Welket Bungué (Guinea-Bissau/Portugal/Germany), director, author and actor (including Berlin Alexanderplatz and Crimes of the Future by David Cronenberg)
What stories does the diasporic cinema bring to the screen? How do experiences of movement in different environments and within diasporic communities translate into the filmmakers’ stories and into their film language?
