Without Paths or Boundaries: Films of Sky Hopinka
Indigenous American filmmaker Sky Hopinka's (Ho-Chunk/Pechanga) video work centers around personal positions of homeland and landscape, the precarity of indigenous languages and the concomitant reality of language as a container of culture. While depicting lives and locations from the Bering Sea to Standing Rock, Hopinkas vision of the North American landscape and its people is borderless and tentative, and inclusive of individual account and collective memory as grounding forces central to cultural survival and resistance. Avoiding a documentary approach to filmmaking in favor of a more nuanced and obliquely angled approach to cinematic ethnopoetics, Hopinkas lushly visual films often allude to persons and places not present and hint at stories and histories untold and perhaps not completely knowable as disparate voicesfamilial, poetic, ancestral and contemporaryspeak across time and distance.
