This Block Seminar examines Indigenous film production in the U.S. and Canada and how film is utilized as a medium for addressing issues significant to Native American nations. By exploring theoretical, methodological, and aesthetic issues, the seminar analyzes how hybridity processes allow the use of filmmaking as a medium to "decolonize" the screen, by providing realistic and non-stereotypical images of Indigenous/Native American people that correspond to their own cultural and social experiences.
