Description
Summary:Drawing on Agnès Varda’s feminised cinécriture , in tandem with works by the video-artist cum activist Sharon Daniel, the author studies Indigenous people’s voice making in different cultural media. In finding the auteur’s unique gaze missing in Inuit filmmaker Alethea Arnaquq-Baril’s work the author instead talks of an unbounded form of storytelling through the interactive documentary format and scriptrix narrans . This method, typical of female authorship, melds the filmed-filmer and the viewer, devoting less attention to the individual auteur.
