Abstract

In light of their current doctoral studies in the areas of film and Métis history, Jessie Ray Short proposes a theoretical framework for Métis Film Studies. Considering the work of Métis filmmakers Amanda Strong and Rhayne Vermette, as well as briefly exploring their own filmmaking practice, Short explores the ways in which Indigenous Storywork might be effectively be tailored and applied to the understanding of Métis film.
