«Towards a de-speaking cinema» is a short speculative essay that explores what could be a scene of representation from a caribbean perspective and imagination. Calling to cacophony and hallucination, to the fall of statues and transitions from one living to another, this draft confabulates some strategies of escape of voices and minority lives from the captures of Western Modernity. The body then becomes the instrument of new epistemologies and a fragile cinema of the night.

This essay is published as part of The Living Journal, a project edited by Olivier Marboeuf and Ana Vaz as a commission by Open City Documentary Festival. The french version of it will be published by Les Presses Universitaires de Rennes in 2022
