Makekway Masinakatew

Directed by Jude Norris
Canada, 2003 (video art, 2 minutes, colour, English)

Film Description:
"A narration of an old Okanagan story about the nature of the Earth's beginnings accompanies images of the artist's body, revealed while she is weight-training. In this very figurative self-portrait, a woman's body is 'expanded' to encompass broader cultural territory, its combination with this creation story invoking a contemporary revisitation of traditional perceptions of identity and connection."
