Discussing John Akomfrah ‘The Nine Muses’

I read the article on the discussion of this movie. What really stood out to me was a few things, number one was. The removal of the voice of “god”, the voice overs we usually receive in documentary type pieces that almost remove us from immersion. This tends to as written “creates a less than centred objectifying gaze on migrants ” Which i found interesting as well. To think that instead of seeing it as an observational video we feel like we are on this journey with the migrants. Instead of this over seeing god watching down. Again another technique that can do a lot to the visuals.
