Here and Elsewhere: Films from Sky Hopinka

ABOUT THE SERIES:

The American Cinematheque is proud to present a three-day celebration of the work and cinematic vision of filmmaker and visual artist Sky Hopinka, in partnership with Vidiots.

Moving fluidly between documentary, experimental cinema and poetic nonfiction, Hopinka’s films explore language, landscape, memory and Indigenous experience. Both deeply personal and formally adventurous, his work resists traditional boundaries between image and text, as well as past and present.

Through the program, audiences will be able to encounter a number of Sky’s works. The series begins at the American Cinematheque’s Los Feliz 3 with a presentation of ORPHEUS as part of Sunday Print Edition, followed by a selection of short films and Q&A. The celebration continues at Vidiots with a private screening of Hopinka’s new film POWWOW PEOPLE, before returning to the Los Feliz 3 for a screening of his acclaimed feature maɬni – towards the ocean, towards the shore, followed by a Q&A.
