Indigenous cinematics: Robert Jackson, ‘Grounded abstractions: an interview with Conor McNally‘, Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media, 61, 2022

11Sep22

Excerpt: McNally’s documentary practice is rooted in Indigenous philosophies that emphasize balanced and healthy relationships between humans and the more than human world. Read in and against the framework of settler colonialism—which attempts to reinscribe all social relations within capital’s grammars of possession, accumulation, and domination—McNally’s focus on Indigenous social relations offers both a critique of settler colonialism’s dispossessive order and an affirmation of Indigenous lives, lifeways, and aesthetics.
