Unceded Chiefs<\/em> traces the historic early activism of BC First Nations Leaders who in the late 1960’s unified in a battle against the Canadian government to reject Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s proposed 1969 White Paper Policy. Director Doreen Manuel skillfully weaves a story of resilience and determination through interviews and archival audio with the people who lived the battle and the children of the Chiefs who had dedicated their lives to the leadership and survival of their Aboriginal title and rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First released in 1915, D.W. Griffith’s Birth\u00a0of\u00a0a\u00a0Nation<\/em>\u00a0ignited worldwide controversy with its graphic depictions\u00a0of\u00a0racism and white supremacy in the post-Civil War South. Nearly 100 years later, Paul D. Miller also known as conceptual artist\/musician\/writer DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid, creates\u00a0a\u00a0daring ‘remix’\u00a0of\u00a0Griffith’s epic to expose the film’s true meaning and relates it to the socio-political conflicts\u00a0of\u00a0America today.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLGBTQ2S<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

American jazz musician Billy Tipton developed a reputable touring and recording career in the mid-twentieth century, along with his band The Billy Tipton Trio. After his death in the late 80s, it was revealed that Tipton was assigned female at birth, and his life was swiftly reframed as the story of an ambitious woman passing as a man in pursuit of a music career. The genre-defying documentary NO ORDINARY MAN seeks to correct that misrepresentation by collaborating with trans artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuban novelist and poet Reinaldo Arenas’ account of his life, first in Castro’s Cuba and then in exile, in the United States. Its power is two-fold: it’s an intoxicating, intensely erotic account of sexual discovery and liberation, and a devastating record of the artist’s persecution under the Castro regime.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Depicts the romantic lives of two Londoners, a middle-aged doctor and a prickly thirty something divorcee, who are sleeping with the same handsome young artist. A revelation in its day, this may be the 1970s most intelligent, multitextured film about the complexities of romantic relationships; it is keenly acted and sensitively directed, from a penetrating screenplay. Criterion Collection Special Features: Cast and crew interviews (an illustrated 1975 audio interview with John Schlesinger, video interviews with Murray Head, Billy Williams and Luciana Arrighi); On\u00a0Sunday bloody Sunday<\/strong>\u00a0(author William Mann discussing the making and release of the film, and its success); Michael Childers interview; Trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
