This Seminar examines Indigenous film production in the U.S. and Canada and how film is utilized as a medium for addressing questions as cultural identity, traditions, ethnic differences and other issues significant to Indigenous nations in Canada and the U.S.A. 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.
