Looking at Edward Curtis (2018)

In Looking at Edward Curtis, Canadian Métis/Dene filmmaker Marie Clements navigates the controversies surrounding American photographer Edward Curtis by looking at his work in the Pacific Northwest through The North American Indian, a twenty-volume publication that represents his thirty year effort to document the vanishing Indian. The film layers some of Curtis' striking images with interviews with contemporary Indigenous people, many with direct links to Curtis' work through their own families, sharing reflections to Curtis' work from a people who did not vanish.
