Description
Smoke Signals Native Cinema Rising by Joanna Hearne A landmark in Native American filmmaking, Smoke Signals is a 1998 feature film written, directed, coproduced, and acted by Native Americans. It was the first wide-release film of its kind, based on Sherman Alexie's short-story collection. This book provides an in-depth introduction to the film, exploring its audiovisual and narrative strategies for speaking to multiple audiences. Hearne examines how the filmmakers used mainstream American popular culture forms to tell a Native story, as well as issues of performance, authenticity, social justice, and environmental history within the film's text and context. By foregrounding the voices of the filmmakers and performers, this book expands our understanding of Smoke Signals and deepens its enjoyment.
