Episode 10: 7 Ways to be Anti-Racist at the Box Office

Okay, not really, but wouldn't it be nice if there was a quick and easy listicle that could tell you how to engage with cinema created by marginalized groups? Instead, this week Sebastian returns to talk indigenous cinema with Kim and Laura. Looking at Lee Tamahori's 1994 film Once Were Warriors, they discuss how the concepts of authorship and "death of the author" apply when it comes to indigenous films, and try to figure out what it means to be a responsible viewer.

Some cool links for further inquiry:
