“Not your Indian”, a short film by Red Haircrow.


From the website: “With our new digital guide, we invite you to experience the Museum Fünf Kontinente in a new way. It offers diverse perspectives on colonial history and forms of anti-colonial resistance. The guide explains how individual works presented in the permanent exhibitions came to be in Munich and identifies the contexts of injustice in which the museum is entangled.”


“Kolonialismus & Widerstand bringt Stimmen aus Herkunftsgesellschaften, Diaspora, Kunst und Forschung auf gleichberechtigte Weise zusammen. Provenienzrecherchen aus dem Museumsarchiv begegnen multimedialen Kunstinterventionen und Perspektiven aus Afrika, Europa, den Amerikas, Asien und Ozeanien.

Call for Participants – Filming restarted for #ALMOST #Documentary – #Indigeneity #GenderDiversity & #Stigma

Untitled

FILMING HAS RESTARTED FOR ALMOST! WE ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING PARTICIPANTS, SO PLEASE  APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

ALMOST was first developed to be a short #documentary film with unique animated storytelling and live scenes, which it still will be, but additionally, I will create a #webseries where episodes feature participants who wish to further share their journey. Other components, such as the spider symbolism will also be explained further, as the web series will supplement and expand the main documentary’s themes and topics.

Description: Focusing on the intersection of realities, identities and Indigeneity, and the concept of being enough, no matter what or who you are.

“Almost normal.
Almost acceptable.
Almost Indigenous.

Half, a quarter, a fraction, a piece.
Gender, sexuality, ethnicity, cognitive or physical dis-/abilities.
Toxic beliefs, ableist and racist structures in society continue to harm.

Some are embracing their differences in order to heal…and they’re connecting.”

PARTICIPANTS WILL NEED TO BE:

1) Over the age of 18 at the time of filming
2) Be willing to sign an agreement for use of their likeness and footage in this project
3) Have an understanding Indigenous and original peoples exist across the world, including Europe, but priority will be given to those connected to or reconnecting to their cultures

Please view the trailer here or on Vimeo, and read through the information currently available on this website, such as the story, the spider and the director’s pages. Red Haircrow, who was awarded the 2023  Ma’’ingan Scholarship for their work as an early career psychologist in gender expansive support and research, has their personal website also, which can be found here https://redhaircrow.com/.

If you are interested in participating and/or have any questions, please follow the link to our posting and use our contact form. You are also welcome to share this call appropriately.

Our #Documentary “Forget Winnetou! Loving in the Wrong Way” Now Available from VTAPE

Request a copy of “Forget Winnetou! Loving in the Wrong Way” for your university, organization or screening event today!

Summary: “The same mentality that ignores indigenous rights to self-representation are often those who also stereotype and gaslight GLBTIIQ people, women, the disabled or economically challenged, especially people of color just for desiring change and equality. It is basically saying, “My gratification is more important than your dignity, your rights or even your life.” This is a main facet of rape culture. It is intersecting oppression.

Most films about Natives concentrate on European narratives or indigenous experience in North America but there are Natives abroad and being “loved in the wrong way” in “Indian crazy” Germany has many forms. Germany is a microcosm of struggles taking place across the world both against and for decolonization; for correcting white privilege and supremacy that’s divided and helped destroy our world. We explore the roots of racism, colonialism, and appropriation in Germany from a rarely considered perspective: the Native American stereotype they claim to adore.”
