SFD stands for Schwarze Filmschaffende in Deutschland (Black Artists in German Film).
Our goal is to reveal both past and present-day trans-cultural processes along with the multiple realities of Germany, present not only in film but also in television.
As Afro-Germans and/or filmmakers of African origin working in Germany, it is our wish as well as our professional duty to take an active part in the production and telling of our own (hi)story.
On the one hand, that entails challenging the prevailing stereotypes of black characters in the German media – depicted as prostitutes, asylum seekers, petty criminals, mistresses, noble savages or other exotic creatures. On the other hand, it is about creating a neutral space where stories can be told from our own point of view and where new perspectives can develop.
Alternative and diverse characterisation of black people in German-language films can change both self-perception and the perception of others, thereby making a contribution to contemporary social discourse.
We are convinced that the medium of film can be used to generate significant impetus towards greater understanding and more open communications. |
