FFR 146: LA Skins Fest

For this week’s podcast we checked out the 14th Annual LA Skins Fest, a festival of Native American films which was held virtually this year. The festival was a great opportunity to explore films by and about indigenous people whose stories too rarely get told in mainstream media. On this episode we’ll be discussing several works which stood out to us, from documentaries, to dramas about contemporary family life, films that employed elements of sci-fi and horror to explore generational trauma, and much more. CW: discussion of suicide as part of a film plot in our segment on Intrepidus, beginning at 42:45 Time Stamps:3:28 - Main discussion on LA Skins Fest10:07 - Tostu (Redbird)19:36 - Blackfeet Boxing28:55 - Walking Together36:52 - The Fall42:45 - Intrepidus52:12 - What’s your Freq Out?Caro on Small Axe, collection of five original films by Steve McQueen, and the first film of the series, Mangrove Links Mentioned:LA Skins Fest - https://laskinsfest.com/event/14th-annual-la-skins-fest/Small Axe - https://www.amazon.com/Small-Axe-Season-1/dp/B08J4HRR4P Follow Us:Join our PatreonOur WebsiteSubscribe to FFR on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our Star Trek PodcastTwitterInstagram
