STOP FILMING US BUT LISTEN is a thought-provoking 2022 documentary that digs deep into the lingering shadows of colonialism and its effects on how the Democratic Republic of Congo is portrayed. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to really absorb the weight of the issues at hand. The film's tone is one of quiet urgency, almost like a conversation rather than a lecture, which makes it feel personal. What strikes me is how it challenges the typical narrative style—less flashy techniques and more grounded, intimate footage. The film contrasts with Joris Postema's 2020 work, expanding on themes of power and representation while evolving the discussion around documentary filmmaking itself. It’s definitely distinctive in its approach, focusing on listening rather than just filming.
