Concerning Violence Director Göran Hugo Olsson Producer Annika Rogell, Tobias Janson Sound Micke Nyström Editing Michael Aaglund, Dino Jonsäter, Göran Hugo Olsson, Sophie Vukovic Sweden/USA/Denmark/Finland, 2014, Colour and B&W, 85 min In this potent, arresting, and surprisingly emotional film, Olsson artfully elucidates Fanon’s psychiatric and psychological analysis of the dehumanizing effects of colonization on the individual and the nation. Concerning Violence makes accessible Fanon’s theory that the violence of colonialism must be met with greater violence to be defeated, as well as his vision and plea to reject the lust for colonial power and instead embrace a more creative and humane society. As a result, Olsson’s powerful documentary makes an accurate, timely, and vital contribution toward building a better world for the future. DOKUFEST, International Documentary and Short Film Festival in Prizren, Kosovo, 2014
