THTD 24900 - Indigenous Film

Course Credit: 1
(FILM)
Indigenous cultures throughout the world have combined ritual, myth, oral literature, art, music, and dance with contemporary film. In addition to being works of art, they are instruments of cultural expression and survival. The course will focus primarily on the films that have recently emerged from indigenous cultures of North, Central, and South America, Northern Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Oceania and how they have created a culturally specific indigenous film genre, that resist postcolonial domination.
