Congo and the magic lantern JF FORUM+, VO 30 IS 1/2 SP 68 OP 79 DO https://doi.org/10.5117/FORUM2023.1/2.009.VERH PB Amsterdam University Press, SN 0779-7397, AB Abstract As an early projection device, the magic lantern was often used for colonial propaganda. For instance, to showcase and legitimize the ‘good works’ of the church in the colony. But lanterns were also used by missionaries in Africa to evangelize the local people and create a colonized mindset. This text is a reflection on the work process of Broken View, an essay film on colonial images from the Belgian Congo and the magic lantern. Through montage, collage, and assemblage the film examines and recontextualizes these images of the Belgian colonial past., UL https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/FORUM2023.1/2.009.VERH
