Book Presentation:
The Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Film is dedicated to bringing the work of Indigenous filmmakers around the world to a larger audience. By giving voice to transnational and transcultural Indigenous perspectives, this collection makes a significant contribution to the discourse on Indigenous filmmaking and provides an accessible overview of the contemporary state of Indigenous film.
Comprising 37 chapters by an international team of contributors, the Handbook is divided into six parts:
Decolonial Intermedialities and Revisions of Western Media
Colonial Histories, Trauma, Resistances
Indigenous Lands, Communities, Bodies
Queer Cultures and Border Crossings
Youth Cultures and Emancipation
Art, Comedy, and Music.
Within these sections Indigenous and non-Indigenous experts from around the world examine various aspects of Indigenous film cultures, analyze the works of Indigenous directors and producers worldwide, and focus on readings (contextual, historical, political, aesthetic, and activist) of individual Indigenous films. The Handbook specifically explores Indigenous film in Canada, Mexico, the United States, Central and South America, Northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific, and the Philippines.
This richly interdisciplinary volume is an essential resource for students and scholars of Indigenous Studies, Cultural Studies, Area Studies, Film and Media Studies, Feminist and Queer Studies, History, and anyone interested in Indigenous cultures and cinema.

"Comprehensive in scope and profound in intellectual incisiveness, this book explores, in very accessible writing, a 'global' Indigenous cinema that needs more visibility. A must-read for film scholars and students."
