COUSINS AND KIN
COUSINS AND KIN BY SKY HOPINKA ON BEHALF OF COUSIN COLLECTIVE
This series of programs represents a mission of the Cousin Collective to share and support Indigenous experimental cinema—a phrase that is loaded in so many ways. What constitutes Indigeneity? How experimental can cinema be given its complicated past in relation to power and class and oppression? And what even is “cinema” anymore as it exists in a theatre or a gallery or a black box or a laptop screen? I have answers to none of those questions, but I do enjoy the process of seeking to understand these words and phrases, and I enjoy the conversations occurring between films and filmmakers as they try to suss out meanings and ask questions.
