Spotlight on imagineNATIVE: Hot Docs is thrilled to partner with imagineNATIVE to celebrate Indigenous storytelling. As imagineNATIVE approaches its 25th anniversary, this collaboration showcases groundbreaking films by Indigenous, First Nations, Métis and Inuit filmmakers, amplifying their voices on the global stage. A portion of ticket sales from these screenings will go to support imagineNATIVE's ongoing work in delivering the best in Indigenous cinema.
In this feature-length documentary, Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond takes an entertaining and insightful look at the portrayal of North American Indigenous people throughout a century of cinema.
Featuring hundreds of clips from old classics as well as recent releases, the film traces the evolution of the “Hollywood Indian.” Diamond guides the audience on a journey across the USA to some of cinema’s most iconic landscapes and conducts candid interviews with celebrities like Clint Eastwood, Robbie Robertson and Jim Jarmusch. The film is a loving look at cinema through the eyes of the people who appeared in its very first flickering images and have survived to tell their stories in their own way.
Please join for a Q&A after the screening with Hot Docs’ Director of Programming Heather Haynes and imagineNATIVE's Artistic Director Lindsay Monture.
Doors will open 45 minutes prior to the screening.
