The Red Screen: Indigenous Films at Playing at deadCenter 2023

Back in a different era, you'd be lucky to find two or three Indigenous films at the local video shop, usually at the bottom of the rack in the “foreign” section.

But now in 2023—that’s how long we waited, natch—Indigenous films have illuminating signage with “Featured Movie of the Month” spreads.

We have willed ourselves into a new renaissance of powerful filmmaking, writing, and art, with fairly dismissed creators turning into a new breed of movie-making soldiers of love, representing the whole film culture and its fandom—not just the “foreign” section, guys.
