Each showcases the beauty and Native diversity that makes up the former Indian Territory. His directorial debut, <em><strong>Goodnight Irene<\/strong>, <\/em>is a short film that looks at complicated issues of Native existence and generational difference. These topics are subtly explored as three characters interact in an Indian Health Services waiting room. Since then, Harjo has been unstoppable as he continues to tackle the meaning of Native experience in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<p>His newest release is a documentary, <em><strong>Love and Fury<\/strong><\/em>, which follows Native musicians from various backgrounds. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.loveandfuryfilm.com\/\">His director\u2019s note about the film <\/a>states, \u201cNative art has been shackled to history by a false vision of what Native people are through the settler gaze of our current reality. I wanted to make something bold and in your face, directly putting up a finger to the shackles of the art world and historic representation of our people.\u201d The documentary is currently making its festival rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Just this past September, Harjo filmed the pilot to a new <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, <strong><em>Reservation Dogs<\/em><\/strong>, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. The new show utilizes Native creatives in front of and behind the camera in a new way, showing Indigenous youth just being teenagers. While Harjo\u2019s experience growing up in Oklahoma will play a huge part in the series, his friend <strong>Taika Waititi<\/strong> is also involved with the project, bringing some touches from his M\u0101ori upbringing.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Erica_Tremblay_Seneca-Cayuga\"><\/span>Erica Tremblay (Seneca-Cayuga)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Erica Tremblay<\/strong>\u2019s short film <strong><em>Little Chief<\/em><\/strong> is a small but powerful piece of cinema. The script was submitted, chosen, workshopped, and created through the Sundance Indigenous Filmmaker\u2019s Lab before debuting at the Sundance Film Festival this past January. <em>Little Chief<\/em> is still making festival rounds and has screened at almost forty festivals internationally, including AFI Fest<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Little Chief<\/em>, Tremblay shows a moment in the life of Sharon (Lily Gladstone), a teacher who has to cope with her own everyday demons while helping a specific student, Bear (Julian Ballentyne), face his own. This glimpse into the life of the characters allows the audience to see the beauty and complexity of community that exists within the Seneca-Cayuga Nation of Oklahoma. The setting is where Tremblay grew up, and her fondness for her people, especially matriarchs, is evident.<\/p>\n<p>What is next for this blossoming filmmaker?

Through dedication and drive.<\/p>\n<p>Just as this young filmmaker was learning the ins and outs of making movies, the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation were gaining traction. Bell captured moments from his stay at Standing Rock and created <strong><em>Defend the Sacred<\/em><\/strong>, a short documentary that showcases moments at the NoDAPL demonstrations.<\/p>\n<p>Bell continued to work in capturing real life by working with FireThief Productions on <strong><em>Osiyo, Voices of the Cherokee People<\/em><\/strong>, a documentary-style television show. With <em>Osiyo<\/em>, Bell was awarded multiple honors for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/osiyo.tv\/the-iii\/\">his short documentary<\/a> focused on the Cherokee-Kiowa NCAA basketball player\u00a0Lindy Waters III.<\/p>\n<p>Bell\u2019s love for basketball is also featured in his yet to be released short film <strong><em>Spirits<\/em><\/strong>. This project was selected for the Sundance Native Filmmaker Lab and tells the story of a young Creek kid who has to choose between staying home with his family and chasing his dream of playing college ball.

Many customs for various Native groups have been lost through assimilation or shame. In her 2011 film<em>\u00a0<strong>Tunniit: Retracing the Lines of Inuit Tattoos<\/strong><\/em>, the director explores the history of traditional Inuit tattooing while debating whether to reclaim this action for herself.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Angry Inuk<\/em><\/strong>, her 2016 project, tackles the controversial topic of seal hunting. Many animal rights groups have attacked Alaska Natives for decades, stating that their ancestral customs are inhumane.

Her most-known work is the 2016 film <strong><em>The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open<\/em><\/strong>, which she stars in as well as co-directed and co-wrote with Kathleen Hepburn. Basically, Tailfeathers is all about collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>After studying acting in Vancouver, Tailfeathers decided to return to school to study the art of cinema. The first project she wrote and directed was <strong><em>Bloodland<\/em><\/strong> in 2011. This short experimental film is a graphic depiction that shows the parallels of the extractive fossil fuel industry on the land and body. Tailfeathers has also dabbled in documentary filmmaking, releasing <strong><em>c\u2019sna?m: The city before the city<\/em><\/strong> in 2017. The themes of colonial damage are constant in the works that she creates.<\/p>\n<p>Tailfeathers also balances her filmmaking with her on-screen performances. As mentioned, she acted alongside newcomer Violet Nelson in <em>The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open<\/em> and was one of the female characters in Jeff Barnaby\u2019s zombie horror film, <em>Blood Quantum<\/em>.

Wesakechak (Sarah Podemski) attempts to survive in the midst of a war zone setting. She runs into a decrepit movie theater filled with darkness and death. Inside, she finds the Weetigo creature she hopes to utilize against the militarized force that attacks outside.<\/p>\n<p>Goulet\u2019s next project is a feature-length film entitled <strong><em>Night Raiders<\/em><\/strong>, which is in its final stages of post-production. This debut will also explore Indigenous science fiction themes and is set to star Amanda Plummer and reconnect the two leads from <em>The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open<\/em>: Elle-M\u00e1ij\u00e1 Tailfeathers and Violet Nelson.

Her other nonfiction titles include <strong><em>Kanien\u2019keha:ka: Living the Language<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Club Native<\/em><\/strong>, both of which break down different aspects of Mohawk existence and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Deer made her fictional feature film debut with <strong><em>Beans<\/em><\/strong> at this year\u2019s Toronto International Film Festival.

The eerie parallels between what\u2019s been happening all around the world and what unfolds on screen make <em>Blood Quantum<\/em> a perfect watch for any and all horror fans. Plus, the cast includes Michael Greyeyes, Elle-M\u00e1ij\u00e1 Tailfeathers, and Kawenn\u00e1here Devery Jacobs which should be motivation for everyone to sit through the entire runtime.<\/p>\n<p>Although little is known about what Barnaby\u2019s got up his sleeve for his next project, it\u2019s sure to be a visual masterpiece as well as a commentary on modern colonial existence.
