First global exploration of contemporary forms of filmmaking from political and cultural selfdetermination movements of Autochthonous communities and peoples.Film X Autochthonous Struggles Today brings together for the first time filmmakers, activists, film curators, and scholars who share a common interest in filmmaking practices that emerge from and participate in the various situations of struggle that the Autochthonous/Indigenous/Native/Aboriginal/First Nations peoples and communities are involved in worldwide.Starting with the Edison Studios 1894 short films Buffalo Dance and Sioux Ghost Dance, representations of Autochthonous peoples have been part of cinema right from its inception. The vast majority of these representations, however, have not been produced by nor for Autochthonous peoples. In the wake of political and cultural selfdetermination movements of the 1960s and 1970s, and with the gradual democratization and accessibility of the tools of movingimage making, Autochthonous communities have displaced and renewed cinemas forms and means of production, increasingly reclaiming their right for selfrepresentation by way of film and video.Along with the vibrant forms of moving images arising from within the communities, close to their existential concerns, filmmaking has also become a potent tool in Autochthonous struggles. This book answers the need to take a global look at the diverse ways of filmmaking that fight for land rights and against environmental injustice (Brazil, Morocco, Taiwan, USA), that resist neocolonial domination, economic and political exploitation (Japan, Philippines), that offer a counterpoint during low intensity or drawnout armed conflicts (Colombia, Mexico), that invent strategies of counter information and representation (Australia, Canada, Russia, Samoa), and that strive for visibility.
