SUMMARY:Decolonizing the screen through Indigenous Cinema
DESCRIPTION:For as long as cinema has existed\, there have been stories with Indigenous themes and characters. But up until recently\, very rarely were these stories told from an Indigenous perspective. \nBut more and more\, Indigenous storytellers are decolonizing screens and tearing down stereotypes perpetuated for decades through various forms of media. \nUsing her feature film Rustic Oracle as a case study\, Sonia Bonspille Boileau will discuss the use of fiction to tell the truth and the importance of reclaiming Indigenous narratives to help reshape our collective memory. \nSonia Bonspille Boileau is a bilingual Kanienkeha:ka and Québécois filmmaker who has been working with Nish Media for the past decade to bring Indigenous content to the screen for viewers of all cultural backgrounds. Some of her documentary credits include Last Call Indian\, The Oka Legacy\, Wapikoni\, and Skindigenous. In 2015\, Sonia wrote and directed her first feature film\, Le Dep. Her second feature film\, Rustic Oracle\, has already received praises on the festival circuit and was just released in theatres. \nThis event is part of the Spirituality as Land\, Story and Relation series presented by the Department of Theological Studies with the support of the Faculty of Arts and Science.
