Documentary screening and discussion for Black History month

Students at the Paris School of Arts and Culture participated in a documentary screening and discussion, an event co-hosted with the University of London Institute in Paris (ULIP), in the context of UK Black History Month. The event follows a new cooperation agreement between the two universities based in Paris.

This first joint event between the two Paris-based Universities featured a discussion between the Cameroon film-maker Jean-Marie Teno and African cinema specialist Melissa Thackway, with a showing of Teno’s documentary film ‘Afrique, je te plumerai / Africa, I will fleece you’ (1992), examining colonialism and Cameroon’s War of Independence.

Students at the Paris School of Arts and Culture followed social distancing measures and connected remotely to ULIP for the discussion.
