Brooklyn-based filmmakers Adam Khalil and Zack Khalil explore contemporary indigenous identity in their first feature film to premiere at Doc Fortnight 2016, The Museum of Modern Art’s 15th annual nonfiction film festival, on Feb. 29. With irreverent flair and a critical eye, INAATE/SE/ [it shines? a certain way. to a certain place./it flies. falls./], makes a bold case for the Ojibway people to be their own storytellers—while seeking a cure for the damage inflicted by colonization. The film will be featured at the closing of the festival.
Synopsis
Adam Khalil and Zack Khalil’s new film re-imagines an ancient Ojibway story, the Seven Fires Prophecy, which both predates and predicts first contact with Europeans. A kaleidoscopic experience blending documentary, narrative and experimental forms, INAATE/SE/ transcends linear colonized history and explores what the tribe’s prophecy means for different generations. With acute geographic specificity rooted in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and a grand historical scope, the film rides the line between the sacred and the profane, in order to pry open contemporary indigenous identity.
