NAS 314 Introduction to Indigenous Film

An introductory study of cinematic images of Indigenous peoples across historic, geographic, and generic categories. Particular attention will be paid to how cinema is an expression of Indigenous sovereignty, and the ways colonialism shapes Indigenous representation in film. This class aims to equip students with visual literacy skills that are grounded in Indigenous knowledges which they can use to engage not only with the films presented in class, but also with cinema in general.
