Abstract
Paul Cooke explores an arts-based development project that took place in South Afrika around ‘Safe Parks’ in Johannesburg. Cooke’s research statement analyses the film’s co-creation with its collaborator and subject, the young filmmaker Phendulani, and in so doing, deconstructs the relationship between filmmaker and subject. The film makes the process of participatory filmmaking explicit, drawing on self-reflexive practice and foregrounds the on-going ethical dilemmas that arise from this kind of collaborative project. In this artist-researcher-teacher role, Cooke has developed a number of participatory filmmaking projects, that use filmmaking as a powerful tool for social action.
