The Early Sun, Red as a Hunter’s Moon
13m
Overview
An exercise in adjusting the moving image to an interpretation of time as it is perceived within the Kiowa philosophy: a circular dialogue between the mythic, the historical, and personal reflection. THE EARLY SUN, RED AS A HUNTER'S MOON follows this temporal tradition in an interpolation of Kiowa lore in excerpts from N. Scott Momaday's The Way to Rainy Mountain, a reunion in Portugal between the filmmaker and their friend after 20 years, and a historical attempt to decode a cryptic letter from 1890 with “hieroglyphic script” that arrived at Pennsylvania’s Carlisle Indian Industrial School sent from a reservation in the Oklahoma Territory to a Kiowa student named Belo Cozad. Shot on expired 8mm film, the film presents a collision of fragments of time and Kiowa memory. — Adam Piron
