Trinh T. Minh-ha, on the moving frontier. Susana Blas
“Why do we continue to be oppressed and continue to oppress others? It’s all much more complex than that positioning of the sources of power you get in a certain type of political cinema. The political can be seen from many different angles; it is not enough just to centre on a political theme and then reproduce the entire ideological language of the mainstream and its oppressive mechanisms. All aspects of the film need to be political, even the formal and structural ones, not just the contents”.
