The Red Paper

1996 • 14 min • Canada

The Red Paper asserts a voice of power and interpretation recounting the devastating consequences of colonialism. The European male wears a straitjacket, repeatedly mumbling “I did not know, I did not know,” in a familiar contemporary mantra that pleads self-proclaimed absolution from guilt by reason of ignorance of history. Claxton irreverently and consciously opts for a lack of historical specificity in favour of a totalizing haunting by history in the present.

That Summer

The Settler

1996 • 50 min • Russia

The plot of the film is based on the story "Khaaiyylaakh" by V. Seroshevsky. In tsarist times, distant Yakutia was a country of prisons and exile, as they say, a prison without bars. No shackles, no chains, no casemates were needed. The harsh climate, the endless taiga, and the huge distance from populated areas were kept better than any bars. The exiles were kept at the expense of Yakut families, they were called settlers (neighbors). Different people came across among them. Settlers with a criminal past disregarded the customs and traditions of indigenous peoples, causing fear and horror in their hearts.
