Wonderful film list spiderwort ... especially thankful for the Whale Rider recommendation, a film I will be adding to my next order
.
some films from my collection that may be of interest
Yawar Mallku , Blood on the Condor (1969) The reaction of an indigenous community against a group of foreign Peace Corps' workers who under the guise of development assistance are forcibly sterilizing the native peasant women. A film made with Bolivia’s majority yet politically underserved Quechuan population, in their native language. Director Jorge Sanjinés’s is film is a raw, technically stripped-down experience, at its core a film which pulsates with a humanist heart.
Sanjinés defined his cinema as a war against Imperialism, and regarding this film he wrote “given the power, experience, shrewdness, and covetousness of this enemy, one must conclude that there is no time, neither for idle pursuits of aestheticism, nor for personal realization.”
The power of the films message effectively transcended the confines of the screen, leading to a popular uprising that ejected the Peace Corps from Bolivia.
Utu (1984) In New Zealand in the 1860s the native Maori people fought the British colonials to keep the land guaranteed to them by treaty. Based on a true account the warrior Te Wheke fights for the British until betrayal... a bloody revenge ensues
The Land Has Eyes (2005) The first feature film from Fiji which was made on the island of Rotuma. The story of a young island woman and her fight to save her family's honour...
Nine miles by two, Rotuma is an isolated island in the South Pacific, inhabited by 2,500 Polynesians who speak a distinct language. Rotuman culture shares many similarities with the rest of Polynesia - Tonga, Samoa, Hawaii and Aotearoa (New Zealand). However, Rotuma is politically part of Fiji. From 1881 to 1970, Rotuma was a colony of Great Britain, administered from Fiji. When Fiji became independent of Great Britain in 1970, Rotuma opted to remain under Fiji's jurisdiction.
Tukana (!983) A rare feature form New Guinea tells the story of a university dropout in Papua New Guinea returning to his native village in Buka Passage, North Solomons. The language is Tok Pisin, the little seen film has English subtitles.
Walk Into Paradise (1956) is a fascinating film Australian film, for its choice of location
The exciting adventure film was shot on location in several inhospitable locations, in central New Guinea, it has some remarkable footage to show. Sepik River long canoes paddled exclusively by women, and a full-scale highlands sing-sing, with hundreds of warriors in traditional dress trampling down grass to make an airstrip are among the many highlights.
