Summary
A re-imagination of an ancient Ojibway story -- the Seven Fires Prophecy -- which both predates and predicts first contact with Europeans, INAATE/SE/ is a kaleidoscopic experience blending documentary, narrative, and experimental forms. INAATE/SE/ transcends linear colonized history to explore how the prophecy resonates through the generations in their indigenous community within Michigan's Upper Peninsula.. With acute geographic specificity, and grand historical scope, the film fixes its lens between the sacred and the profane to pry open the construction of contemporary indigenous identity.. "History is written by the victors, but this film reminds us that the history of the oppressed can still be saved from being extinguished. Using personal interviews, animated drawings, performance, and provocative intercutting, the Khalil brothers? feature debut makes a bold case for the Ojibway people to be their own storytellers?while seeking a cure for the damage inflicted by colonization?in a spiritual reconnection with tradition." - Museum of Modern Art
