Film/Video A LOOK APART THE DOE BOY WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY RANDY REDROAD THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2001, 8 PM FREE AUDITORIUM |
INTRODUCED BY JUANITA ESPINOSA, DIRECTOR OF NATIVE ARTS CIRCLE AND THE TWO RIVERS GALLERY.
In his debut feature film, Randy Redroad tells the story of Hunter (James Duval), a mixed-blood Cherokee growing up in Oklahoma who must prove himself according to his culture and his father's standards. When he mistakenly kills a doe rather than a buck, he seeks refuge in the forest and learns, with the help of his Cherokee grandfather (Gordon Tootoosis), the difference between hunting and killing. Redroad received awards for his short films (Haircuts Hurt and High Horse) at the American Indian Film Festival and Festival d'Amiens, France, and won the Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Award for The Doe Boy. 2000, U.S., color, 35mm, 83 minutes.
Marking the 11th year of partnership between Native Arts Circle and the Walker, the Two Rivers Native American Film Showcase brings to the screen area premieres of work representing the new Native-American cinema, featuring films with Native-American talent in all principal creative areas.
