The 2023 RAI Film Festival gives space to films that confront this anthropological filmmaking tradition while taking it in fresh directions. The filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha has described this effort as creating films thatpeople with whom we work. To that end, we have programmed this year’s festival to grapple with the urgent issues of our times and have selected fearless films that ask difficult questions, build bridges, seek redress from past harms, and promote social justice and dialogue.
The selected films do this by tackling questions of form and representation, and by centering approaches that push the field of anthropology into new terrain. For example, some of the featured filmmakers blur the distinction between fiction and nonfiction. Others use collaborative methods to produce co-created films that raise questions of authorship and perspective.
Along with these new developments within the discipline, Indigenous filmmaking has grown over the last decades into a flourishing tradition of self-representation that reclaims Indigenous concerns, voices, and aesthetic perspectives. Since 1991, the RAI Film Festival has celebrated these filmmakers and shared their work in the hope of nurturing dialogue and exchange.
Here are five suggestions that showcase the breadth of this year’s festival program. We encourage readers to explore the rest of the offerings on the platform.With stunning insight into Indigenous Taiwanese divination practices, director Su Hung-en follows a young and charismatic gender-nonconforming shaman as they practice healing rituals with their clients. Insightful observational scenes are interspersed with dramatized dream sequences that evoke a spirit world that exists alongside our own.
