Top 10 indigenous films of all time
Indigenous cinema, at least in its contemporary form, is only 40 years old, and the fact that there are films to be left off a list like this is testament to its rapid development and to the artists who have taken up the camera to tell their stories.
Here are 10 amazing films that are a great starting point for a journey into indigenous cinema history.
1. Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, 2001 (Canada)
The first Inuktitut language feature is also the most important film in Canadian history, bringing epic film making to a Northern legend. It won Official Selection at the 2001 Cannes International Film Festival, and remains the highest grossing indigenous film in Canadian history.
2. Bastion Point Day 507, 1980 / Incident at Restigouche, 1984 (New Zealand / Canada)
These two activist documentaries were often paired on the festival circuit and are among the most important films in contemporary indigenous cinema. Directors Merata Mita and Alanis Obomsawin seemingly willed indigenous cinema into life with these two endlessly fascinating historical documents.
3. Bedevil, 1993 (Australia)
Tracey Moffat’s dreamscape/ghost story began indigenous cinema’s move away from traditional cinematic narrative structures and remains an under seen masterpiece.
4. The Dead Lands, 2014 (New Zealand)
Toa Fraser’s martial arts epic is bloody and bold, recreating pre-contact New Zealand and featuring remarkable, bone crunching performances. Coming soon to theaters.
5. Four Sheets to the Wind, 2007 (U.S)
Sterlin Harjo’s gripping feature is a descendant of Smoke Signals, portraying contemporary Indigenous life with an unflinching eye and open heart. It won a Special Jury Prize at Sundance for Tamara Podemski’s remarkable performance.
6. Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance, 1993 (Canada)
Alanis Obomsawin’s documentary epic chronicles the Oka Crisis in Quebec and helped shift the dialogue around Indigenous issues in Canada and globally. It was the first documentary to ever win the Best Canadian Feature award at the Toronto International Film Festival.
7. Once Were Warriors, 1994 (New Zealand)
Lee Tamahori’s ferocious and exhilarating portrait of an urban Maori family was the first indigenous feature to have a truly global presence. Among the highest grossing films in New Zealand history.
8. Rhymes for Young Ghouls, 2013 (Canada)
Jeff Barnaby’s debut feature brings the anger to indigenous cinema, a clarion call for both the cinematic community and the indigenous community. A director to watch for years to come.
9. Samson and Delilah, 2009 (Australia)
Warwick Thornton’s Camera D’or winner is a searing depiction of modern life in Australia and a marvel of naturalism and restrained storytelling.
10. Smoke Signals, 1998 (U.S)
Chris Eyre’s road movie based on Sherman Alexie’s screenplay is a touchstone for indigenous cinema, bringing humour to a story of contemporary Indigenous life. Also features the core of young performers such as Adam Beach, Michelle St. John, Irene Bedard and Gary Farmer who would go on to star in numerous other films in the ensuing years.
More films not listed here — Ten Canoes, Charlie’s Country, Patu!, Barking Water, Trudell, Before Tomorrow, Mohawk Girls.

A brave group of Greek factory workers provide an example for Britain, and all of Europe, in taking back workplace control
At the height of the Greek crash in 2011, staff at Viome clocked in to confront an existential quandary. The owners of their parent company had gone bust and abandoned the site, in the second city of Thessaloniki. From here, the script practically wrote itself: their plant, which manufactured chemicals for the construction industry, would be shut. There would be immediate layoffs, and dozens of families would be plunged into poverty. And seeing as Greece was in the midst of the greatest economic depression ever seen in the EU, the workers’ chances of getting another job were close to nil. So they decided to occupy their own plant. Not only that, they turned it upside down. For a start, no one is boss. There is no hierarchy, and everyone is on the same wage. Factories traditionally work according to a production-line model, where each person does one- or two-minute tasks all day, every day: you fit the screen, I fix the protector, she boxes up the iPhone. Here, everyone gathers at 7am for a mud-black Greek coffee and a chat about what needs to be done. Only then are the day’s tasks divvied up. And, yes, they each take turns to clean the toilets. When the workers consulted the local community about what they should start to produce, one request was to stop making building chemicals. They now largely manufacture soap and eco-friendly household detergents: cleaner, greener and easier on their neighbours’ noses. Staff use the building as an assembly point for local refugees, and I saw the offices being turned over to medics for a weekly free neighbourhood clinic for workers and locals. The Greek healthcare system has been shredded by spending cuts, its handling of refugees sometimes atrocious; yet in both cases, the workers at Viome are doing their best to offer substitutes. Where the state has collapsed, the market has come up short and the boss class has literally fled, these 26 workers are attempting to fill the gaps. These are people who have been failed by capitalism; now they reject capitalism itself as a failure.
The Viome plant is still going strong, and distributing their products across Europe to this day

It’s never too late to become exactly the person you’ve always wanted to be. These words by @mistyonpointe totally affirm that for me. 💕💕💕 #latebloomer #believeinyourself #other #unicorn
[Image description] get comfortable saying: 1. thanks for correcting me. i didn't realize that. 2. i hadn't thought of it like that. i understand now. 3. i was wrong about that, and i've changed my mind. 4. i should do some more research before i argue this point. there's no shame in being wrong, only refusing to learn.

Ferdinand Domela Nieuwenhuis, atheist, anarchist, anti-monarchist, anti-colonial, pacifist, feminist, anti-homophobe: a man whose ideas and angelic features transcend the boundaries of time and space. HEART EYES MOTHERF I first read about this exceptionally hot and wonderful man during history class in high school, years ago. His eyes were piercing blue, even in black and white they just penetrate right into your soul… Ferdinand was not only a bear of a man but also very intelligent and compassionate. He worked as a pastor but as two of his wives died (both named Johanna, just like his later two wives), he started to question the existence of God. Reading Proudhon, Marx and Engels, Ferdinand became a dedicated socialist. He started preaching socialism and against what he called the four K’s; Kerk, Koning, Kapitaal, Kazerne en Kroeg (Church, King, Capital, army and Pub). Together with other socialists, he started the first socialist political party in the Netherlands. His speeches were renown amongst the northern proletariat and he became known as their Jesus. He did not turn water into wine but he definitely turns my fluids. Gathering more support, he eventually was elected into the Parliament. But after a while, he became disillusioned by the slow bureaucratic process. The socialists were with too few to implement the reforms Domela Nieuwenhuis desired. Inner party conflicts about the direction of the party did not help… Ferdinand started leaning towards Marxist revolution supported through (un)lawful methods. This of course did not resound well with the cowards in parliament ;). Domela quit politics altogether and became an anarchist. He passed the last 20 years of his life writing books and passed away in 1919. He was one of the first people in the Netherlands to be cremated and his funeral attracted 12.000 people. He might not have been able to conquer the Netherlands with his socialist ideas, but he certainly did conquer a place in my heart.
