Adam Khalil and Zack Khalil’s debut film re-imagines the Seven Fires Prophecy, an Anishinaabe prophecy predicting their first contact with Europeans. Blending documentary, narrative and experimental forms, INAATE/SE/ (2016) explores the cross-generational resonance of the prophecy within the directors’ Indigenous community on the Michigan/Canadian border. With acute geographic specificity and grand historical scope, the film fixes its lens between the sacred and the profane to pry open the construction of contemporary Indigenous identity.
