This one-hour session is connected to the international conference Revisioning the Americas through Indigenous Cinema held since 2009 as part of Montréal’s First Peoples’ Festival Présence autochtone. It aims to reignite the conversation in order to better plan for the 2022 international conference.
The session is organized from Queen's University in partnership with Terres en vues and in collaboration with the Kanien'kehá:ka Onkwawén:na Raotitióhkwa Language and Cultural Centre (KORLCC).
What is the symposium / conference Revisioning the Americas through Indigenous Cinema / Regards autochtones sur les Amériques?
The international conference Revisioning the Americas through Indigenous Cinema is a scholarly and cultural event that has, since its inception in 2009, examined the role of Indigenous filmmaking experiences and visions in what were, are and can become the Americas. Held in Montréal and Kahnawà:ke as part of Présence autochtone Montreal First Peoples’ Festival, it aims to build bridges between academia and the world of Indigenous film and media in order to develop relevant theoretical reflections on these multidimensional practices and productions (cinema, media, television, web), as they materialize and are understood in the places from which they emerge. Since 2018 the conference is organized from Queen’s University in partnership with Terres en vues and in collaboration with the Kanien'kehá:ka Onkwawén:na Raotitióhkwa Language and Cultural Centre.
