The article is a response to Marica Langton's essay for the AFC "Well, I heard it on the Radio and I saw it on the Television" on the politics of filmmaking by and about Aboriginal people and things.
It is an insightful article that attempts to further reinforce the problematic associated with an interpretation of an "Aborginal" identity through visual representation. It goes some way into an attempt to analyse ways in which Aboriginal filmmaking can act as an interventionsit model. "Some of the ways non-Aboriginal people respond to Aboriginal films and filmmaking practices, how they feel they can get involved, and what sorts of stories they tell about that."
The most productive area of the article was the parallels he drew from Delueze & Guattari's work on the self contained in a "multiplicity of identities" that is not necessarily determined through race. Yet the comments on the way Aboriginal films should be made appears to place boundaries on a film practice and i don't know whether or not you can make rules about forms and types of any production regardless of any Indigenous relationship to the content.
