FRANTZ FANON: BLACK SKIN WHITE MASK Q&A - BFI London Film Festival 2017
At the World premiere of the digitally-remastered 2K version of the celebrated documentary about psychiatrist and revolutionary Frantz Fanon, the BFI was joined on stage for a Q&A by the filmmaking team: Director, Isaac Julien; actor, Colin Salmon and producer, Mark Nash.
Frantz Fanon was an Afro-Caribbean psychiatrist, philosopher and revolutionary whose inspiring, ground-breaking writing of the 1950s and 1960s explored the psychopathology of colonisation. Subverting traditional documentary codes, artist Isaac Julien and Mark Nash here depict and unpack Fanon's life and ideas through a rich, compact interweave of lustrous Algerian locations, archival footage and interviews with family members and critical thinkers, including the much-missed Stuart Hall.
