Film
An Evening With Sky Hopinka
- 7PM
Responsible for some of “the most striking, thought-provoking and intricately assembled video works of recent years” (Filmmaker), Sky Hopinka, a Ho-Chunk Nation national and descendent of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, has emerged as a vital voice in contemporary Native American filmmaking. Awash in majestic, mysterious images of landscape and nature, his self-described “ethnopoetic” films combine documentary and experimental practices to movingly interrogate ideas of language, heritage, homeland, and displacement. Films include Cloudless Blue A (2019), Fainting Spells (2018), Jaaji Approx. (2016), When you’re lost in the rain (2018), Cloudless Blue B (2019).
