"New Arctic Cinemas is a stunning and essential book, situating the Arctic and its representations as central to global media systems as well as global environmental concerns. Scott MacKenzie and Anna Stenport have followed the work created by Indigenous media makers from Nunavut in Canada, Sápmi across the Nordic countries, Greenland, Iñupiat lands in Alaska, and Russia's Far North. This wide-ranging, multidisciplinary book attends to both the exciting on-screen aesthetics and the lively off-screen innovations that have made media sovereignty possible for the First Nations people who have created this crucial if underrecognized domain of world cinema."--Faye Ginsburg, David B. Kriser Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Center for Media, Culture and History, New York University
