In this workshop, Adam Piron screen and discuss current works-in-progress including:

ndn time - A screening of excerpts from Adam Piron’s work-in-progress feature film. This new project looks at a material history of cinema in California and its connection to campaigns of settler colonial genocide against Native American communities. The project considers contemporary perspectives of Indigenous artists from those communities and reflects on what it means to engage in filmic practices, more broadly. (40 mins.)

The Power & the Freedom - Based on Adam Piron’s live reading and visual essay, this work-in-progress offers a reading of Alfred Hitchcock’s film Vertigo from a uniquely Indigenous vantage point and interprets Hitchcock’s masterpiece as a statement on the ongoing costs of a colonialism, specific to California, and the psychological violence that continues to ripple from its blast point.
