"Filming Back" in Siberian Indigenous Cinema: Cinematographic Re-appropriation Strategies in the Work of Anastasia Lapsui and Markku Lehmuskallio

Caroline Damiens

Résumé

This paper examines the Siberian films by Anastasia Lapsui and Markku Lehmuskallio. It focuses on filmic means employed in order to "film back" to outsider cinema. Applying film analysis as a method, it demonstrates how film form can be as political as content when used to give voice to Siberia indigenous peoples and review earlier Soviet discourse of equality, integration and progress. It highlights two aesthetic strategies used by the filmmakers to "film back:" the re-appropriation of archival footage to rework the past and recredit indigenous individuals; and the creation of a plural pseudo-autobiographical voice to break the Soviet monologue and embody the shared indigenous experience. Finally, it argues that looking at formal aspects helps to rethink our understanding of such notions as "talking back" and "shooting back, " often used indifferently, with the addition of the "filming back" concept, reserved to filmic issues.
