- Abstract
"New Arctic Cinemas: Media Sovereignty and the Climate Crisis" by Anna Westerstahl Stenport and Scott MacKenzie is a comprehensive exploration of media representation and production in the Arctic. The authors analyze the political and cultural significance of media production in Indigenous communities, highlighting the role of Indigenous-owned film companies like Isuma and the Arnait Video Production Collective. The book also examines the development of cinema in Sápmi and Greenland, as well as the portrayal of the Arctic in Russian films. The authors emphasize the importance of film in truth and reconciliation processes and its potential to educate and create agency over narratives. Overall, "New Arctic Cinemas" is a valuable contribution to Indigenous media studies and media history.
