In a screening series organized by Carleton’s Film Studies program and Carleton University Art Gallery, join us for a presentation of Kent Mackenzie’s rare film, “The Exiles.” Released in 1961, the film chronicles one night in the lives of young Native American men and women living in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles. Based entirely on interviews with the participants and their friends, the film follows a group of exiles – transplants from Southwest reservations – as they flirt, drink, party, and dance.

This film is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Raymond Boisjoly: Interlocutions. Boisjoly is keenly interested MacKenzie’s “The Exiles” as an early representation of Indigenous youth culture and has been inspired by the film in producing his projects (And) Other Echoes (2013) and Station to Station (2014).

The screening will be preceded by rare and memorable selections from the Audio-Visual Resource Centre’s collection of 16 mm films, curated by Devin Hartley, which will be inspired by the themes of 1960s youth culture, representations of Indigeneity, and diaspora.

Admission is free and everyone is welcome!
