- Abstract
Through the lens of visual anthropology, this paper offers an analysis of three first-generation Indigenous documentary filmmakers in Taiwan: Mayaw Biho (Amis), Pilin Yapu (Atayal), and Chang Shu-Lan (Tao). Using participant observation and in-depth interviews, I explore how these directors revolutionized discourses of collective Indigenous identities and revitalized local cultures through documentary films and independent public screenings. I also consider some of the challenges and complexities these directors faced while filming in their native communities. Through these reflections, this article raises ethical questions around conflict management during collaborative filming, what is left unseen and unsaid, and how directors negotiate their own identities as insiders in relation to their work. I aim to demonstrate how Indigenous endogenous perspectives can contribute to ethical debates around documentary filmmaking and expand contemporary understandings of the relationships between directors and their subjects.
