Description

This book is a groundbreaking exploration into the uncharted world of indigenous language cinema and its impact on the global film industry. It probes into the narratives of indigenous language films from various regions of the Global South - an underrepresented region in knowledge construction and dissemination, which have not yet found their way into mainstream intellectual discourse. Through a multi/interdisciplinary approach, the contributors to this volume examine how indigenous language films challenge dominant narratives, preserve cultural heritage, and provide a platform for marginalized voices to be heard. Beyond maintaining the tradition of book culture in film studies, the book is planted in the decolonial project of world cinema. It queries reasons some countries in the Global South do not have policies for indigenous language films or produce films using 'local' languages.
