Film as a powerful tool for social change in Africa

SCOLMA Lunchtime Seminars



Film as a powerful tool for social change in Africa - Dr Dominique Chadwick, Cambridge-based practitioner in film and development.


Monday 9th May, 1pm
Friends House
173 Euston Road
London NW1 2BJ


This discussion-based seminar will explore different applications of film in social development: as a campaigning tool; as a documentation tool; and as an empowering tool through the participative processes of film-making.


It will draw on a variety of short clips of films set in Africa, taken from the work of Dr Chadwick. The clips will be used to stimulate discussion on a range of themes such as development process, power relations, and the role of the external filmmaker.


Please note that as this event is being held in the Library at Friends House, food and drink are not permitted.
