Bloodland

Réalisé par Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers

Canada, 2011 (fiction, 5 minutes, couleurs)

Description du film [en anglais] :
« Bloodland, directed by [University of British Columbia] Film Production student Elle-Maija Tailfeathers, [...] addresses the global impact of gas and oil exploration with a focus on the hydraulic fracturing in Kainaiwa, otherwise known as the Blood Reserve, in Southern Alberta. Hydraulic fracturing is a process used to increase the rate of extracting and recovering oil, natural gas and coal seam gas from rock layers. In recent years, hydraulic fracturing has come under scrutiny because of the risks to health, safety and the environment. [...] Tailfeathers' film was shot with a completely Indigenous cast and crew. »

Citation de la réalisatrice [en anglais]

« As an Indigenous person, you are where you come from. Without our land, we're nothing. That's where our language and cultural identity come from. Without it, what are we? So essentially that place is our mother. And if you think about it, drilling into the earth, fracturing soil beds, injecting horrible chemical cocktails into the earth, is very violent and gruesome. »
-- Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (source)
