Eight months ago, I started helping with a fundraiser for a friend’s film. Today, the documentary is screening all around the UK. We often say it’s just the two of us on the project, but really we couldn’t have done it without the support of the online community who fights and denounces the injustices of the UK’s criminal justice system everyday. Today, we have 1,000 followers on Twitter and that may not mean a lot in the grand scheme of things, but for us it’s a milestone. The fight goes on, and we’re not going to stop now. #injusticedoc #prisonreform #documentary #filmmaking #thirdcinema #koalasquad 🐨

An #excerpt From our #film NO WAY HOME (Finalist for #ExceptionalArtistry #award) #screening tomorrow @officiallatino at 2pm @teatrolatea - the language of love is in action no one speaks of love anymore it's syntax replaced with at worst - casual indifference and at best - a grudging tolerance a new vocabulary is needed and only insurrection will bring it in this unwritten future love will lead the revolution the barricades will go pushed over the walls returned to dust the borders will go ignored the authority of these impediments will go unrecognized there will be no keeping love in or out Shot on #16mmfilm with a #Bolex, #NewYorkCity, Red Rock Canyon Nevada and Valley Of Fire #Nevada and desaturated of color into gorgeous #blackandwhite images composed by my DP Jeff “AK” Akers, with voice overs #written as #poems and disguised as #dialogue and an improvised and layered #score headed up by Los Bros. Rodriguez, Arturo and on bass, guitars and @bronzerican317 on #drums, with contributions by Kevin on #guitar and my brother Mark on #uprightbass, beautifully acted by Kelvin Fernandez, @miss.flea and @lostsaintbkny ... No Way Home is a meditation on an idea that i wanted to explore about the nature of #God. The thesis being that God is fractured among human beings and that the only way to know God is to fuse these fractures together by recognizing the God in someone else. Each of the characters represents a single element of a #trinity. The first character in the film is the #Spirit, the second character is the #Mind and the third character is the #Body. These three characters are searching for each other in order to settle the dissonance they feel… When they find each other they become whole but their individual journeys eventually break them apart… The brief encounter strengths and invigorates them and they reaffirm their resolve as they each set out to change the world in their own way. The only way to bind the trinity in such a way that it will never be severed again is to open the eyes of the world to the fact that separately we are human and together we are God… #Filmsnotdead #16mm #AVT #IndpendentFilm #ThirdCinema i#AudioVisualTerrorism (at Teatro LATEA)

John Trudell

Last month, I went with some friends to a showing of Trudell, introduced by director Heather Rae. The film was preceded by the music video for “Time Dreams,” a collaborative effort between the Pines and John Trudell.  The night was meant to be culturally enriching and it most definitely was.  The night commenced with a chant from local First Nation peoples, the chant sounded beautiful though I had no idea what they were saying. The thing that really struck me was, of course, the films themselves.

I had of course heard John Trudell’s work and heard his words, but in combination with the images in the music video, the documentary had a new effect on me.  The film was succeeded by an exchange amongst the tribute video creator Missy Whiteman, John Trudell’s daughter Ricarda Star Trudell, and the filmmaker Heather Rae.  After the interchange amongst the speakers, a man told the audience how they could help with First Nation goals, in particular he brought up a mission they are going on to the Vatican.  The purpose of the trip is to remove papal bulls justifying degradation of Native Americans and minorities in general, as they continue to find their way into legislation today.

Everything about this event was done in matter adherent to various Indigenous customs, from the opening chant, to the subversive filmmaking, to the conversational ending. There is an article by authors Fernando Solanas and Octavio Getting entitled, “Toward a Third Cinema,” wherein the authors discuss this idea of cinema that opposes first cinema and goes beyond second cinema. First cinema is the predominant way of filmmaking, think mainstream.  Second cinema is included in and amongst films that seek to better a situation through intellectual dissemination of dissenting voices against the actions of a hegemonic class within a given society.  Third cinema is an interactive call to arms that opposes first cinema and surpasses secondary cinema.

This presentation in it’s entirety falls somewhere in between second and third cinema.  Though it doesn’t call for an immediate revolution, the event encouraged revolutionary action.  Be it the attempt to subvert dominant cinema and Native American representations, or the call to action against papal bulls.  The event asks of the audience to see the world as seen by John Trudell, to see it as perversion that can be fought against.  The words of John Trudell and those who came out to support him are crucial in understanding the needs and accomplishments of Native American peoples.

Whether the film is to be considered as secondary cinema or a third, it is enjoyable and creates a space for much needed discourse surrounding the hardships that need to be dealt with for the Native Community.
