Doclisboa to ask The Colonial Question in October 2022
Doclisboa has unveiled the first retrospective of its 20th edition, which will take place 6-16 October 2022. “The festival proposes a focus on the colonial past of France and Portugal, two countries that waged wars in Africa around the same period, whilst hiding behind benign narratives, and, since then, resisting confrontation with their own history,” write organisers.
