Questions About This Episode

What is DAHOMEY feat. MATI DIOP about?

You are listening to a live recording from the showing of Dahomey at Empire Bio, November the 21st 2024. Together with the director Mati Diop we talk about overcoming stereotypes and colonial narratives, as we dive into one of many remarkable scenes in the documentary: the town hall discussions where we get to observe different views and opinions on the return of the artefacts to Benin. Another aspect of the documentary we also talk about is exploring the historical theft and misrepresentation of African heritage by colonial powers. Dahomey is a 2024 internationally co-produced documentary film directed by Mati Diop. It is a dramatised account of 26 royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey (modern-day Republic of Benin), which were held in a museum in France. The film explores the return of the treasures from France to Benin, and the reactions of the Beninese people. The documentary premieres in Danish cinemas on January 16th 2025. We recommend EVERYBODY to watch this masterpiece! <3 <3 <3 Tak til Mie Brandstrup for at klippe dette afsnit. Tak til CPH Dox & Empire Bio for samarbejdet.
