Shooting the Indian Act : Kitigan Zibi 2003
"Claude Latour documents a performance by West Coast artist Lawrence Paul Yuxwaluptun, during which he shoots copies of the Indian Act. In 1997, Yuxwaluptun brought the Indian Act back to its place of origin, Great Britain and symbolically shot copies of the legislation, which has had a profound impact on Aboriginal communities ever since it was passed. Six years later, the artist completed the circle by shooting the Indian Act once again on Canadian soil on the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg territory, with an audience observing and participating in the symbolic destruction of the Act."--Container.

"Featuring some of the most influential and innovative musicians and groups-- Germs, Black Flag, X, Fear, Circle Jerks, Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Poison and members of Aerosmith and KISS-- these riveting, unflinching, hard-core films adeptly captured the spirit of a major cultural phenomenon. Part I documents punk rock musicians' deliberate reaction to the mass commercialism of music. Part II takes a fast-paced look at the Heavy Metal scene of the late 80's. Part III profiles hard-core gutterpunks living homeless in Los Angeles and their music."--Provided by the publisher.
