Synopsis
A magic lantern, an early image projector, played a key role in Belgian colonial propaganda. Used to promote the achievements of the Church, State, and industry, these projections aimed to persuade a hesitant Belgian public about the benefits of colonialism. "Broken View" examines this historical tool and its impact on perceptions of colonial rule. The film runs for 75 minutes and combines elements of religion and literature to reflect on the colonial gaze.
