YOUTH. EDUCATION.SOCIAL JUSTICE.MEDIA LITERACY.DOCUMENTARIES.

I have never been to DOXA before, but the experience was much more memorable than going to the cinema and watching

Hollywood’s newest creation. Before the visit, I just assumed the documentaries were going to be ‘boring’…This was a very

educational visit and I look forward to DOXA.”

We Call Them Intruders Tamara Herman and Susi Porter-Bopp | Canada | 2015 | 55 mins (plus 15-20 mins panel discussion) | Recommended for Grade 8-12 students

Almost 75% of the world’s mining companies call Canada home, but most resource extraction happens beyond Canadian borders, where a lack of regulation and a profit-seeking agenda have have a huge envi-ronmental and social impact. Digging beneath glossy mining company marketing materials, the filmmakers, from Vancouver BC, travel to rural parts of Africa to talk to local residents, government officials, and community activists to uncover the truth. Bold and confrontational, the filmmakers employ a follow-the-money approach that effectively traces how everyday Canadians are implicated. This film is a call for action, offering tangible solutions for change. This is activist filmmaking at its most raw and urgent.

FRIDAY MAY 13 12:30 PM VT INAATE/SE/ [it shines a certain way. to a certain place./it flies. falls./]Adam Khalil and Zack Khalil | USA | 2016 | 75 mins (plus 15-20 mins panel discussion) | Recommended for Grade 8-12 students

The Seven Fires Prophecy is an ancient Anishinaabeg story that predates, and even predicted the arrival of European settlers. The prophecy acts as the bedrock of Zack and Adam Khalil’s debut feature. Set in their ancestral territory of Sault Ste. Marie (that straddles the border between Michigan and Ontario), the film transgresses mainstream convention and linear history to fashion a subversive look at the devastating impact of colonialism through a collage of animation, candid interviews, and hallucinatory performances. The Ojibwe brothers are masterful video artists at heart, employing a sharp trickster wit when interviewing local museum workers about stolen artifacts. In a time of government-sponsored truth and reconciliation efforts, it’s important to think long and hard about what decolonization actually looks like. The Khalil brothers’ brazen film offers an entirely new vision that unsettles colonial narratives, challenges notions of conventional non-fiction cinema, and begins to carve space for contemporary Indigenous identity.
