| Description | This presentation examines Inuit representation and community engagement through cinema, focusing on the films The Grizzlies (2018) and Slash/Back (2022). It situates both works within a longer history of Indigenous portrayals in film, from Flaherty’s Nanook of the North to contemporary Indigenous-led productions such as Atanarjuat and Reservation Dogs. The talk contrasts how the two films negotiate issues of authenticity, cultural voice, and colonial trauma. |
