NZIFF Panel Discussions offer a unique platform for filmmakers, actors, and industry professionals to share insights, discuss creative process, and engage in meaningful discussions about the wider context of their work.
Mati Diop’s film Dahomey explores the repatriation - and reanimation - of stolen Taonga, following the repatriation of 26 artefacts stolen by French soldiers from the Kingdom of Dahomey in 1892 as they are returned to what is now the Republic of Benin.
In this panel discussion, visual artists Luke Willis Thompson and Yana Dombrowsky-M’Baye joined us to bring the conversation of repatriating stolen taonga into a local context in this lucid and nuanced discussion.
This session was recorded live at The Civic Theatre in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland on Saturday 10 August as part of Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival 2024.
This panel was chaired by Becky Hemus and hosted in partnership with Art News Aotearoa.
