American Indian Film Festival Recap Premiere Night 2019
Tumblr media
Published 11/2/2019, All Photos by Rye Purvis unless otherwise noted.
The American Indian Film Institute celebrated their 44th year of the American Indian Film Festival Saturday October 26th at the Brava Theatre in Mission District, San Francisco. 
The Festival’s Emcee Tom Phillips (Kiowa) introduced the week long festival with an opening song by the All Nations Drum Group, performed in honor and remembrance of founder Michael Smith.

The night continued with a presentation of five films: Throat Singing in Kangirsuk, Sacheen: Breaking the Silence, Two Brothers, Henry’s Heart, and Red Snow.

At a mere 4 minutes and 30 seconds, Throat Singing in Kangirsuk immediately takes viewers out of San Francisco and in to Kangirsuk, a small village where the directors and throat singers Eva Kaukai and Manon Chamberland are from. Drone shots by Johnny Nassak present birds eye views of both snowy and rocky horizons making for quite an ethereal landscape. Eva and Manon are seen fluctuating between a calm seriousness and a contagious playfulness, trying not to laugh while their voices reverberate meditatively. One can’t help but get entranced by the sound and image, almost wishing for more. 
The second film of the night, Sacheen: Breaking the Silence had the honor of being introduced by Sacheen Littlefeather (Apache) herself, joined by producer Gayle Anne Kelley. The film directed by Peter Spirer, gave viewers a glimpse into the shocking moment at the 1973 Academy Awards when actress and activist Sacheen Littlefeather refused the best actor Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando. The film gives a short but moving view of Sacheen’s perspective: who Sacheen is, what led up to the Oscar refusal, and what the aftermath looked like. Forty-five years after the fact, the televised moment remains astounding. Breaking the Silence gives voice and respect to the woman behind it all, the woman who carried the weight of the advocacy in the moment and decades after. Littlefeather’s voice is clear, direct and heard.

The third film of the night, Two Brothers directed by Montana Cypress (Miccosukee) was a 10 minute short film on the conversations and sense of unease two brothers experience as they prepare for the Seminole Wars. Montana Cypress also plays one of the brothers in the film.

Henry’s Heart and Red Snow were the last films of the night. In Red Snow, actor Asivak Koostachin played Dylan, a Gwich’in soldier caught by the Taliban in this feature film directed by Marie Clements. The film is set in the present but intermittently shows flashbacks of Dylan’s life back in the Canadian Arctic where his relationship with his culture, Grandmother, and tragic young love influence the young man’s place in the world. Asivak does a wonderful job balancing the hardness of the soldier’s exterior with a complex impassioned interior as Dylan interacts with a Pashtun family through their escape from the Taliban.

Overall, premiere night of the American Indian Film Festival gave a great array of film presentation, setting the tone for the week to come. From activism, to historical settings, personal conflicts and heartache, the films certainly reinstated the importance of Indigenous/Native/First Nation vision in media and entertainment.

"Montana Story"
This understated character study about damaged people and broken relationships is painful, touching, and emotionally powerful, from its restrained beginning to its most forceful final blow.
“Montana Story” is a western where the sweeping scenery and shots of the vast, dusty landscape aren’t the star, but the family drama is. The visuals are absolutely stunning, but it’s the story that affected me on a deep level. This understated character study is painful, touching, and emotionally powerful, from its restrained beginning to its most forceful final blow. Cal (Owen Teague) has…

Red Snow (2019)
Tumblr media
When I sit down with a Canadian movie, Red Snow is what I want to see. Touching on a multitude of indigenous people's issues, it also speaks about modern-day warfare and delivers a thick slice of tension to keep your blood pumping between the reflective scenes.
During the War in Afghanistan, Gwich’in soldier Dylan Nadazeau (Asivak Koostachin) is betrayed and captured by the Taliban. When Dylan’s notebook in his native tongue is discovered, they accuse him of being a spy. Certain he will not survive the ordeal, he retreats back into his memories for solace.
There are times where you can tell some of the film’s budgetary limitations and at least one dramatic scene where Koostachin doesn’t quite bring the level of emotion you wish he would. They’re small blemishes in an otherwise moving story. Every time Dylan defies Ramiz (Kane Mahon) by speaking Gwich’in, he risks a beating or death but you agree it's worth it. Cooperative or not, he’s dead either way. Giving the villains that extra bit of grief, it’ll be his revenge. Who knows? If he’s stalls enough time, maybe an opportunity for escape will present himself.
When Dylan isn’t reading a script in front of a camera at gunpoint, he returns to memories of his homeland. He fondly recalls his close relationship with his cousin Asana (Miika Bryce Whiskeyjack) and his younger brother. They were the best days of his life but are plagued with tragedy. You're now unsure if Dylan accepts death as inevitable or wants to keep their memories alive by surviving.
As the one stabbed in the back, Dylan sees the scenario as black-and-white but we get the viewpoint of the man who delivered him to the Taliban, Aman (Shafin Karim as Aman). We know it was a complex choice. It’s made even more obvious when you see the threat his daughter, Khatira (Mzhdah Jamalzadah) and young, impressionable son Tahir (Ishaan Vasdev) face. Everyone gets a surprising amount of character development.
In the film’s best scene, Ramiz breaks down Dylan’s odds of survival. This isn’t some Hollywood Cowboy and Indians movie. The cavalry isn't coming at the last second to save our hero. From that one line, a lot of thoughts flourish. In his mind, Ramiz is both the Indian defending his land from invaders and the Cowboy hero. The irony isn’t lost on them. It doesn’t beat you over the head, it isn’t sanctimonious or preachy. It’s just a great little moment.
Red Snow ends on an unexpected note that I’m not sure what to make of. Before then, I was sure the film would go in a certain direction but my expectations were proved completely wrong halfway through. It isn’t the choice I would’ve made but it doesn’t come out of nowhere. The conclusion fits and if you go in knowing the ending will be atypical, I don’t think it will bother you. (Theatrical version on the big screen, November 4, 2019)

WFF '21 Review: 'Run Woman Run' is a lovely story of rediscovering self-worth
#WFF21 / @whisfilmfest 'Run Woman Run' is a lovely story of rediscovering self-worth
Grief affects everyone differently. Some of us find resolve, some not so much—some of us the latter, then the former. Run Woman Run is a story of grief about one woman’s journey to put herself back together after a loss. (more…)

im mostly posting so eye do not forget but i was bored and trying to graphic once again and failing miserably bc i don’t have photoshop anymore and i was trying to find more age accurate fcs (like the actors role at least being closer to the age) and anyway i got these:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eric Schweig as Ned, Lottie Verbeeck as Cat (he’s too old now but no one matches the Ned in my head the way Schweig as Uncas does) (I mean he’s also too sexy bUT it’s p close) (also give Lottie darker hair)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anna Lambe as Lyanna, Asivak Koostachin as Jon (again, make Asivak a bit less chiseled and handsome but otherwise, that’s almost exactly how I picture Jon. Anna Lambe is just older than Lyanna here, she’s like 18 I believe)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kiawentiio as Arya, Riit as Sansa (Riit is too old, I can’t find anyone age appropriate for Sansa. Just imagine Riit but younger and that’s basically how I imagine Sansa. Kiawentiio is the furthest away from how I picture the character but her lil baby fat chubby cheeks matching Lyanna/Lambe is perfect).
Also bonus Heath Ledger as Rhaegar. I know it’s cliche but it’s cliche for a reason. And look at the three together.

Review: 'Portraits From A Fire' comes of age through filmmaking
Review: '#PortraitsFromAFire' comes of age through filmmaking @photonfilmscan #VIFF2021 @VIFFest @PortraitsMovie
There are many fundamental truths in this world, and one of them is that creative people will create. Tyler (William Magnus Lulua), a boy growing up on northern BC’s Tsilhqotʼin reserve, makes films. He borrows household items from the community to use as props and screens them in a makeshift open-air cinema. When his latest film is only attended by a handful of people, many of whom then leave to…
