What Was Ours (2016)

Like millions of indigenous people, many Native American tribes do not control their own material history and culture. For the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes living on the isolated Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming, new contact with lost artifacts risks opening old wounds but also offers the possibility for healing. What Was Ours is the story of how a young journalist and a teenage powwow princess, both of the Arapaho tribe, travelled together with a Shoshone elder in search of missing artifacts in the vast archives of Chicago’s Field Museum. There they discover a treasure trove of ancestral objects, setting them on a journey to recover what has been lost and build hope for the future.

For in the darkness of ignorance, enemies are made and wars are waged, but in the light of understanding, family extends beyond blood lines and legacies of hatred crumble.

Lake Mungo is an ancient Pleistocene lake-bed in south-western New South Wales, and is one of the world’s richest archaeological sites. Message from Mungo focuses on the interface over the last 40 years between the scientists on one hand, and, on the other, the Indigenous communities who identify with the land and with the human remains revealed at the site. This interface has often been deeply troubled and contentious, but within the conflict and its gradual resolution lies a moving story of the progressive empowerment of the traditional custodians of the area.

Que viva México! foi um projeto de filme realizado em 1931-32 pelo cineasta soviético Sergei Eisenstein para o autor socialista americano Upton Sinclair e vários investidores, que Eisenstein acabou concebendo como um retrato episódico da cultura e política mexicanas desde a civilização pré-conquista até a revolução mexicana. Mais de 200.000 pés de filme mudo foram filmados antes que a produção tivesse que ser interrompida devido ao esgotamento das finanças e às exigências de Stalin de que Eisenstein retornasse à URSS. Esta é uma das várias tentativas de fazer um longa-metragem a partir das imagens existentes, aqui de acordo com o esboço esquelético de Eisenstein e sob a supervisão de Gregori Alexandrov, colaborador de longa data de Eisenstein, inclusive neste projeto.
