The first comprehensive exploration of Native American filmmaking and video
production.
WIPING THE WAR PAINT OFF THE LENS: Native American Film and Video
Beverly R. Singer
University of Minnesota Press | 136 pages | 2001
ISBN 0-8166-3160-3 | hardcover | $47.95
ISBN 0-8166-3161-1 | paperback | $18.95
Visible Evidence Series, volume 10
Native Americans have thrown themselves into filmmaking since the mid-1970s,
producing hundreds of films and videos, and their body of work has had great
impact on Native cultures and filmmaking itself. Wiping the War Paint off
the Lens traces the history of Native experiences as subjects, actors, and
creators, and develops a critical framework for approaching Native work.
Singer positions Native media as part of a larger struggle for "cultural
sovereignty"‹the right to maintain and protect cultures and traditions.
