Dear Frameworkers, Thank you for your responses and interest in the program! I'm very excited for the suggestions that are coming in.
I am also excited to know that more curatorial work and inquiry is happening around American Indian and Indigenous filmmakers shown through the UCLA screenings and hopefully we can fill in some gaps from that program and continue the conversation around these works. I think Peter Adair is a mistake in being involved with Through Navajo Eyes. To my knowledge he grew up (for at least part of his life) on the Navajo reservation where John Adair and Sol Worth were working. Here is an NY Times article from when he past away and mentions this. http://www.nytimes.com/1996/06/30/us/peter-adair-53-director-dies-made-films-with-gay-themes.html Thank you again, Nate Cummings-Lambert ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gail Silva <g...@gailsilva.org> Date: Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 11:52 AM Subject: Re: [Frameworks] American Indian and Indigenous experimental filmmakers To: Experimental Film Discussion List <frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com> This must be a mistake. John Adair was Peter Adair’s father and is surely the correct maker of this work. I believe “Holy Ghost People” made in 1967 was Peter’s first film work.
