For Prism, Belgian filmmaker An van. Dienderen invited Brussels-based Rosine Mbakam from Cameroon and Paris-based Eléonore Yameogo from Burkina Faso to work together on a film in which the differences in their skin color serves as a departure to explore their experiences with the biased limitations of the medium. Photographic media are technologically and ideologically biased, favoring Caucasian skin. Such white-centricity means that the photographic media assume, privilege and construct whiteness.
You can stream Prism on OVID and Kanopy.
Prism was directed by Eléonore Yameogo, Rosine Mbakam and An van. Dienderen.
Prism runs for 1h 17min, and was released in 2021.
