Selected Filmography In conceptualizing this collection, we imagined a resource guide for teachers, academics, students, and general readers. Part of that resource includes this filmography, which provides a listing of the Indigenous films discussed throughout the edition. It also theoretically continues the conversation about what constitutes an Indigenous film and an Indigenous filmmaker, a primary theme throughout the book. Some of the films listed are not Indigenous in subject but are made by Indigenous filmmakers . Others are Indigenous in subject, based on Indigenous writers’ works, or collaborated on with Indigenous people, but are not directed by Indigenous filmmakers. By including such variety, we hope to encourage further debate among your students, colleagues, and friends. Many of the films are available in DVD format for home use through such outlets as Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, and Netflix in North America (Region One). “DVD” follows these entries. A few of the international films are available for home use only on VHS. Educational and theatrical distributors are listed with the titles; some of these also distribute on DVD for home use. Those wishing to purchase for school uses should work with their libraries to procure copyright permission. In some cases for films from Canada, such as Atanarjuat, educators will need to go to Vtape (www.vtape.org/catalogue.htm). Further purchasing information is provided for those films only available from either small or regionspecific vendors. Some films are labeled “not currently available,” but readers should be aware that older titles are frequently being reissued. We highly recommend that readers refer to the Native Networks Web page; its master list of films, filmmakers, and distributors provides valuable information on these and other Indigenous films as well as film festivals. 362 Selected Filmography Los angeles de la tierra/Angels of the Earth.
