The first ethnography of the vibrant Aboriginal media community in
Vancouver, Sovereign Screens uncovers the social forces shaping
that community, including community media organizations and
avant-garde art centers, as well as the national spaces of cultural
policy and media institutions. Kristin L. Dowell uses the concept
of visual sovereignty to examine the practices, forms, and meanings
through which Aboriginal filmmakers tell their individual stories
and those of their Aboriginal nations and the intertribal urban
communities in which they work. She explores the ongoing debates
within the community about what constitutes Aboriginal media, how
this work intervenes in the national Canadian mediascape, and how
filmmakers use technology in a wide range of genres-including
experimental media-to recuperate cultural traditions and reimagine
Aboriginal kinship and sociality. Analyzing the interactive
relations between this social community and the media forms it
produces, Sovereign Screens offers new insights into the on-screen
and off-screen impacts of Aboriginal media.
