Los Angeles Filmforum presents
INAATE/SE/ by Adam Khalil and Zack Khalil
At the Spielberg Theatre at the Egyptian, 6712 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90028
LA premiere! Filmmakers Adam Khalil and Executive Producer Steve Holmgren of INAATE/SE, Eve LaFountain, and Maya Solis of Sundance in person!
Adam Khalil and Zack Khalils 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 to explore how the prophecy resonates through the generations in their indigenous community within Michigans Upper Peninsula. With acute geographic specificity, and grand historical scope, the film fixes its lens between the sacred and the profane to pry open the construction of contemporary indigenous identity.

INAAT/SE/
It Shines a Certain Way to a Certain Place/It FliesFalls/
2016, DCP, 75 minute
"An artful and brilliant collage, expressing hope, pain, despair, and the trickster humor that is so evocative of its people."
-BOMB Magazine, http://bombmagazine.org/article/1985224/adam-zack-khalil
"Stylistically audacious"
- The Hollywood Reporter
"Formally adventurous but never esoteric, INAATE/SE is an inimitable model for what radical documentary in the 21st century might be"
-Screen Slate
History is written by the victors, but this film reminds us that the history of the oppressed can still be saved from being extinguished. Native American video artists Adam and Zack Khalil here reclaim the narrative of the Ojibway of Sault Ste. Marie, in Michigans Upper Peninsula, from the archives and museums that would confine it to the past. Using personal interviews, animated drawings, performance, and provocative intercutting, the Khalil brothers feature debut makes a bold case for the Ojibway people to be their own storytellerswhile seeking a cure for the damage inflicted by colonizationin a spiritual reconnection with tradition.
