Trinh T. Minh-ha’s approach to film has addressed a wide field of discussions – reaching from the ethics of representation in ethnographic film, to aspects of migration, debates on global socio-political developments, and different layers of feminist discourse. Her films are investigations into the question of the voice as well as into the relationship between the visible and audible. This programme will present a selection of films that echo some of these discussions negotiated by Trinh in her filmic works as well as in her writings, and create a dialogue with other filmmakers and scholars.
