FILM, CULTURE & IDENTITY

On the latest episode of the Nana Yaa Yeboaa Podcast, I sat down with Vladimir Jean-Gilles, a film critic, journalist, and cultural commentator whose work lives right at that intersection. Our conversation explored what it really means to engage with film beyond entertainment—how criticism can be personal, how identity informs taste, and why global perspective matters more than ever in media.

Vladimir shared thoughtful insights on navigating major media platforms while staying true to your voice, the responsibility that comes with cultural commentary, and how travel can deepen—not flatten—our understanding of stories.

This episode is for anyone thinking about representation, storytelling, and how culture quietly shapes our values. It’s a reminder that film isn’t just something we watch—it’s something we live with, learn from, and question.
