Film Screening by Dr Teddy Mattera

The film ‘Cinema from Within’ (2020) interrogates through both Dr Mattera’s identity as a black South African man and his practice as a writer/director/producer of film and television, how black identity and representation in South African cinema has developed from the colonial and Apartheid eras to the politically negotiated transition to democracy in 1994. It engages how discourses on black/ blackness—with regards to cinema in both theory and practice — and their connection to race, class and gender are, of course, wide-ranging and often polemical.
