How can the three filmmakers with different skin colors, be together in one frame? How can they create a common film on this topic? The film problematizes the objectivity of the camera and its inequality of power to tackle other inequalities in society based on skin color. Such white-centricity means that photography assumes and privileges whiteness. Photographic media is technologically and ideologically biased, favoring Caucasian skin. For Prism, Belgian filmmaker An van Dienderen invited Brussels-based Rosine Mbakam from Cameroon and Paris-based Eléonore Yameogo from Burkina Faso to work together on a film in which the differences in their skin color serves as a departure to explore their different experiences with the biased limitations of the medium.
