We kick off with our favourite Indigenous film at the festival, Fancy Dance, about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) which we already went deep on in episode 3. We then dig into the disappointing documentary miniseries Murder in Big Horn (dir. Razelle Benally who is Oglala Lakota/Diné and Matthew Galkin), which looks at MMIWG in the Crow and Northern Cheyenne Nations. The Sundance miniseries Murder in Big Horn is told through the lens of an Indigenous investigative journalist looking into the case and uses the tropes of true crime. We talk about the often thoughtful but inchoate Twice Colonized, which was directed by a settler The film Twice Colonized follows the wonderful Inuk lawyer Aaju Peter (who also appears in Angry Inuk). Next, we talk briefly about another disappointing Sundance US Indigenous film, a documentary co-directed by an Indigenous director, Bad Press (dir. Muscogee filmmaker Rebecca Landsberry-Baker and Joe Peeler), about the Mvskoke Media in the Muscogee Creek Nation navigating gaining and then losing and then trying to regain their status as free press. We also touch briefly on Fox Maxy's New Frontiers experimental film. Finally, we briefly discuss Heroic, a World Dramatic Competition film about an Indigenous character and mention the other World Cinema films that are about (but not made by) Indigenous people.

We're celebrating the late great Indigenous filmmaker Jeff Barnaby with a look at 2013's Rhymes for Young Ghouls. C/W: infanticide, suicide, drug abuse, threat of sexual assault, residential schools (basically everything).This is a rough text, but Barnaby's tale of Indigenous vengeance against colonial oppressors is also extremely cathartic. Plus: The Aila Test, a brief history of residential schools, how the film uses genre to disarm white audiences, and debate about whether the end of the film is "happy"References:> Ali Nahdee. “The Ali Nahdee Test”> Taylor Sanchez Guzman. “Moving with the Dead” in Rhymes for Young Ghouls.

Today, we pay tribute to the great films and enormous impact of Mi'gmaq filmmaker Jeff Barnaby who passed away on October 13, 2022. He is best known for writing and directing (and editing and composing for) two landmark Indigenous feature films out of Canada: Rhymes for Young Ghouls (2013) and Blood Quantum (2019). This episode features Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney, Executive Editor Orla Smith, as well as Associate Editor Dr. Brett Pardy. To read the show notes and get the AI-generated transcript of the episode, click here. More about the episode Mi'gmaq filmmaker Jeff Barnaby passed away unexpectedly from cancer on October 13, 2022. He was only 46. He is best known as the writer-director of two feature films in colonial Canada: the landmark film about residential "schools" Rhymes for Young Ghouls (2013) and the popular zombie film Blood Quantum (2019). But he has also made three excellent shorts, which we hope to help people discover: From Cherry English (2004), The Colony (2007), and Etlinisigu'niet: Bleed Down (2015). We've been huge fans of Barnaby's work and activism, and are still very much mourning the loss of this incredible talent who wasn't given the opportunities he deserved. There are so many films we will never get from him now. But we also wanted to talk about how many roadblocks were put in Barnaby's way while he was alive, preventing him from making all the films he could have and wanted to make in his time. This episode is a tribute to Jeff Barnaby — a complicated, difficult, visionary filmmaker — and what his work has revealed about Canada and the film industry. When Barnaby died, we didn't just lose so much future work from this important filmmaker that we all wanted to see (and he wanted to make), but we also lost a huge resource of cultural knowledge of the Canadian and Indigenous Film Industries. This episode features Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney, Executive Editor Orla Smith, as well as Associate Editor Dr. Brett Pardy. On This Episode 01:51–3:45 Why are we talking about Jeff Barnaby? 3:45–6:26 Jeff Barnaby's unexpected passing and his huge impact on the film industry 6:26–10:38 Barnaby not only changed filmmaking but effected social change with his work 10:38–16:56 How the Canadian film funding bodies failed to support Barnaby's work in the ways it should have. We also discuss why they wanted to fund Rhymes for Young Ghouls but not Blood Quantum 16:56–19:44 Making films about colonial trauma without showing gratuitous violence or making trauma porn at the same time 19:44– 24:52 Dr. Brett Pardy on teaching Rhymes for Young Ghouls and its weighty emotional impact on the viewer. We also discuss Barnaby's use of genre to capture a settler audience and talk about colonialism. Barnaby did this without being didactic or preach. He's not there to teach; just to provoke. 24:52-30:21 Rhymes for Young Ghouls is so accomplished it doesn't feel like a first feature. 30:21-32:08 Barnaby wasn't given the opportunities he should have been given in the time that he had, even though everyone in the Canadian film industry knew how talented he was and how important his work was. 32:08-47:58 How Jeff Barnaby was refreshingly honest on Twitter and in interviews when discussing the realities of being an Indigenous filmmaker. Barnaby had a lot of integrity. He also worked to uplift other Indigenous artists. He was one of the most accessible filmmakers on Twitter and would regularly engage (positively) with other film fans and critics. 47:21-49:24 The loss of Barnaby also means the loss of a huge body of knowledge of how the Canadian film industry works to support (or fail to support) Indigenous filmmakers. 49:24-52:54 The lack of critical or academic interest in contemporary Canadian film, let alone Indigenous film, and how we have tried our best to fill the gap. 52:54-57:13 Jeff Barnaby's short films, as well as why they are worth catching up with 57:13-59:31 Related episodes, what's coming next on the podcast, and other wrap-up thoughts.

We're celebrating the legacy of Aboriginal Australian actor David Gulpilil. Gulpilil died on November 29th 2021, at age 68, leaving behind him a career of rich performances, despite the many ways the industry underserved him for decades. On this episode, we particularly focus on Charlie's Country, as a film that was so personal to Gulpilil, and which features probably his best performance. We also survey Gulpilil's legacy, both his vital contributions to film, and also how his troubling domestic abuse conviction complicates that legacy. We discuss the issues that arise when representation of marginalised groups is so slim that we start to view the few successful figures as heroes rather than flawed humans.

In this week's episode, Stephen and Carsten a look at indigenous filmmaking in Canada and beyond, starting with Mi'kmaw director Jeff Barnaby from just over the New Brunswick/Quebec border in Listuguj First Nation, with his recent apocalyptic zombie hit Blood Quantum and its kinda-prequel Rhymes for Young Ghouls, and moving to the Arctic, the U.S., Scandinavia, New Zealand and Australia. Each film tells a different story, but unsurprisingly the theme of the harm done by settler culture imposing its will on Indigenous communities is universal and a consistent thread through most of these films.

Welcome to our gratuitous zombie episode! Rather than watch some more garbage DVDs from our collection, we(Darcy) decided it was time for a palate cleanser. And Jen somehow paid enough attention to remember the names of all the movies, plus a few scattered details of the plots of some of them! We review Night of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead, One Cut of the Dead, Rhymes for Young Ghouls, and the freshly-released Blood Quantum. We were even considerate enough to give a spoiler-free chat about Blood Quantum before issuing a spoiler warning and diving into more detail, just in case you're on the fence about watching it for some reason.
A Zombie Movie-most of it filmed in Listuguj is the latest feature film from Indigenous Filmmaker Jeff Barnaby. We talk about the movie Blood Quantum, growing up in Listuguj, Rhymes for Young Ghouls and bringing it back home to film. The cinematography is beautiful. Very much a love letter to the area. Also joining me is Jeff's Brother, Corey Metallic for some funny and warm stories about Jeff growing up.
Rhymes for Young Ghouls, written and directed by Jeff Barnaby is set on the Red Crow Mi'g Maq reservation in 1976. It follows 15 year old Aila as she navigates growing up in a country which imposes taxes and violence upon those who wish to preserve heritage, language, and way of living. She must also face the violence & addiction within her family, within her own community. The children of the Crow have a common enemy. The sadistic truancy officer, Popper. Popper torments the children with physical and psychological violence if they remain "truant." Rhymes is a heist film, a revenge film, a coming of age film, and possibly one of the most relevant for policy films we've discussed on the podcast. If you haven't seen the movie, beware, this conversation has a ton of spoilers. We highly recommend watching - it's streaming on multiple platforms. Host Jonathan Schwartz is joined by Chris Finley and Aubrey Hicks.

This week we’re celebrating the Fourth of July with two movies about American childhoods: baseball and friendship tale The Sandlot, and magical realism and revenge tale Rhymes for Young Ghouls. We’ve got nostalgia! And history! And Canadian accents, but don’t concentrate too hard on that! It’s all about America this week.

This week we’re talking animation with friend of the show Daniel Barcroft, starting with Finding Dory, Pixar’s beautiful, funny ode to the abilities of the differently abled. Then we check in on our complicated feelings about Disney’s princess empire, from how Disney has tried to adapt its model to match the times, to how toy companies’ marketing models can actually determine the entertainment girls are allowed to watch.
