Starting to notice some weirdly specific trends in some of my favorite alien films:
Isolated woman fights for her life against body snatching aliens, but also the aliens are the only ones to truly understand and accept her (in the most horrifying way possible): No One Will Save You and Significant Other
Kids from marginalized communities have to fight invading aliens trying to steal their home and land: Slash/Back and Attack the Block
The aliens are here and, frankly, they’d rather not be: Paul and District 9
*teenage girl voice* hunting for aliens is my coping method, okay: Prey and UFO Sweden

Big Festivids Recs Post!
Last weekend was the big Festivids GoLive, which meant the release into the wild of 160 brand new small fandom vids (aka fanvids, edits, etc.) Right now the collection's anonymous, but tomorrow is vidder reveals, so I wanted to write up a recs post for some of my absolute favourites from this year's collection. If you know Yuletide, well, Festivids is like Yuletide, celebrating small/weird/underappreciated fandoms! It's an exchange fest, so people ask for the small fandom vids of their heart and, then, receive one.
Honestly the collection this year is SO high quality, you should really go and browse the works yourself in their entirety; there are so many vids that I absolutely loved that I didn't put on this recs list, because I was trying not to get carried away (and also trying to get it done). But just to get you started, here are a smattering of my favourites. I tried to represent a bunch of vid genres and source types here, but ultimately it's just my taste.
RECS RECS RECS!
Andor: Level Up
AHHHH this is a vid about Andor and fascism and collective action and One Way Out and it's so gorgeously done. Perfect song choice, perfect vid, makes me cry and I will rewatch it many times.
Andor: be ready and be brave
Focusing on Ferrix, its history, its people, and its revolution. Absolute chills. Also I'm SO happy whenever I get to watch a vid to a Mountain Goats song.
Mosquita y Mari: como siempre soñé
Such a sweet, soft, slow romance vid. I ACHED for these two. Like reading a 300k slowburn but in three and a half minutes.
Dropout TV: Nothing in my Head
The Dropout TV vid of my DREAAAAAMS! (largely Game Changer but with lots of stuff in there!)
Taskmaster UK: Blood in the Cut
UHHHH. IT'S AMAZING??? It's hot and raw and kinky and hardcore. the vidder has the delicate, precise touch of a bloody scalpel. Yes, this is a vid for Taskmaster, the UK show where comedians do silly tasks. Because yeah, it's that show, but it's also this show.
Slash/Back: Uja
This vidder KNOWS how to vid horror. The way this vid cuts the most terrible images to make them barely-there, more horrifying for being rough slaps against my consciousness . . . yikes. Amazing vidding, super cool and scary, while also maintaining the uplifting, kickass, hopeful tone you want from a collective-action horror movie.
Janelle Monae: I Like That
Glorious, joyful, sexy celebration of being a free-ass motherfucker.
Star Trek: Lower Decks: Hard Times
Boimler vid about how he's essentially a redshirt who is just slightly too sweet to actually die. Absolutely adorable and hilarious.
Woman King: Upside Down
Absolute BANGER of a vid, great cuts, great movement, great character arc and great Dahomey women being amazing.
Romeo + Juliet: Magnetic
We all agree Harold Perrineau is the best Mercutio, SO, with that in mind, here is a flawless celebration of the best Mercutio.
Knives Out/Glass Onion: 'Til You Hit a Nerve
Brilliant comparison vid putting Marta from the first film together with Helen and Andi from the second one, drawing out the similarities and dissimilarities in a visual feast and with a badass powerwalk. Nothing not to love!
David Cronenberg's Films: body
This one is phenomenal. It takes David Cronenberg's entire filmography and condenses it into a vid about all the sexualized body horror. It is deeply horny and deeply disturbing and deeply fascinated by every single finger going into a hole in a body that shouldn't be there. It's soft and tentative and it's very graphic and violent, all at once.
The Wheel of Time: Velodrome
Tower politics and circularity and being bound to one another in every good way and every bad way; what a beautiful vid. I love how this is about a place, and about how that place draws these people together over and over in their shared experience and love and trauma.
The Midnight Sky: The Laughing Heart
Absolutely gorgeous vid of the film to a spoken word + music rendition of Charles Bukowski's "The Laughing Heart" (there is a light somewhere). I have not seen this film but I found this vid deeply moving.
Moby Dick: Queequeg and I
There are four (FOUR!!!) Moby Dick vids at Festivids this year, and they are all amazing combinations of a huge smorgasboard of sources, I heartily recommend them all, but I'll specifically rec two. This one is Queequeg and Ishmael to "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and it is the sweetest queerest thing ever. Queequeg and Ishmael get a happy ending shhhhh they do shhhhh yes this is how it happened they came out of the water they're fine
Moby Dick: a vulture feeds upon the heart forever
This vid is a fucking masterpiece. It is a huge archival multisource Moby Dick vid that weaves all these incredibly different visual together to make a coherent, tragic narrative. And like. The BOOK is not a coherent narrative! This is such gorgeous and amazing fanwork. Don't miss out on it.
Women's 100m Sprinting: Didn't Come to Play
This is GORGEOUS, I don't know anything about sprinting but I know I love these beautiful joyful powerful women running really fast and hugging each other and being amazing. The editing on this is so tight; the vid never stops for a second. Like a sprint?!?!?!
The Golem and the Jinni: סיפור הגולם
This is another book vid, but since this book doesn't have any adaptations, it's using entirely archival source and probably some documentaries and films to construct the story - or, really, construct the vibe of the book, construct the metaphors of the book, and the result is beautiful and powerful and meditative. It's about survival, and making life.
Jesus Christ Superstar: Hope on Fire
This is another umbrella vid, where the vidder is taking a bunch of different productions of the play and mashing them together. This vid focuses on Judas and Jesus/Judas, and it all feels so inevitable and tragic and real and cruel. I really loved it.
Jordan Peele's Films: Goodbye, Honey, You Call That Gone
This is such a wonderful mashup of Jordan Peele's three films, exploring all the parallels and differences and just the rich tapestry of his imagery.
猎罪图鉴 | Under the Skin: Put It On Me
I don't know this source but this was just so gorgeously put together; there's a focus on art and art objects, on hands moving and creating, that's just mesmerizing.

Thoughts on Reservation Dogs
I recently watched the Reservation Dogs finale and my soul is destroyed, but like, in a good way? The show just consistently leaves me feeling hollowed out, but like, in the way of that quote about opening ing a hole so you can let the light in…(can’t remember where thats from now…)
I’ll try not to give away any spoilers for folks still watching S3, but I felt the need to just process my thoughts and feelings about the series as a whole.
First of all, it’s amazing to see such an explosion of Indigenous-made media in the last few years (I also highly recommend the fun teen horror film Slash/Back!) and Reservation Dogs just feels steeped in the tradition of not just Indigenous culture, but Indigenous film and literature. I’m the first to admit that I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to Indigenous media as a whole, so I’ll just speak to what I know.
I’m a big fan of the author Sherman Alexie and his influence (particularly his short story collection The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and his movie Smoke Signals, which is based on it) on Rez Dogs is really clear: that balance of humor and tragedy, the surrealism/magical realism, the tongue in cheek way the narrative pokes fun at itself and characters poke fun at themselves and each other and use humor to cope with their struggles.
I really love how the show bounces around between present and past, characters speak to spirits and ancestors, and the community and culture anchor even the most lost characters on their search for themselves and for meaning. The way it handles intergenerational trauma and its impact on individuals and the community is so poignant. And then, in the same episode, it’ll have you in stitches cracking up at the antics and misadventures of the characters. AND the equal attention paid to both male and female characters and the older and younger generations is SO GOOD. And really highlights how sadly rare that still is in mainstream media.
This show has made me cry (several times in one episode, on multiple occasions), made me laugh out loud, and made me think about history, community, identity and friendship.
Seriously, if you have to yet watch it please, please do!! Sterlin Harjo and the others writers are fantastic, the cast of actors is amazing, the music slaps, the visual storytelling is great…seriously this show kicks so much ass and is so impactful! And fun!!
Ok, I could rant forever about how much I adore Reservation Dogs.
I’ll definitely be rewatching! Just want to steep myself in that world a little longer! ❤️❤️
(Come howl with me about it if you’re also a fan! Owoo!)

Richard Henry “Hank” Yarbo is from the tv series Corner Gas. He is often unemployed and the best contender for Dog River’s village idiot. He is from the fictional Dog River, Saskatchewan.
Note from Mod: Maika was submitted as Maika (and friends), however as she’s the only named person in the submission, she’s the character listed here.

Slash/Back has a bad name I think. I would have liked to have seen a little more of Kristian Bruin. While the stakes never feel super hight this is a great little kids versus monsters/aliens picture with a mostly Alaskan indigenous native cast, some very natural kid performances, and some great shots. I like the script in a Monster Squad kind of way.

Slash/Back Boards - Geologist Scene
My sister Nyla Innuksuk director the indigenous-kids adventure-sci fi-horor flick Slash/Back. It's a lot of fun and everyone should check it out!
youtube
She asked me to do some storyboards. It was my first time doing boards for live action it was a fun challenge. Below are my storyboards for the geologist scene from the beginning of the movie. And most of it is in the trailer, it's cool to see how it was translated.

I tried to make these boards look really slick, so people wouldn't just think I'm the kid brother.

31 Scary Movies in March Day Seventeen: Slash/Back
Slash/Back is a Canadian Inuit Sci-Fi Horror film featuring a group of teenage Inuit girls fighting to save their small Arctic town from aliens. One of my favorite parts of this movie is that it works so well because the teenagers and kids in this movie are played by actual teens and kids. It reminded me of a personal favorite from my last horror movie binge in October, Vampires Vs. The Bronx. It felt really family friendly, especially when it came to kills. Though some of the effects looked cool. 
It’s clear that this movie is inspired by the iconic 1982 film “The Thing.”
Some reviews on Shudder say this movie suffers from some rough dialogue, and while it is true, I do not think it is a bad thing. One thing I have learned from working as a substitute teacher, is that kids/teenagers will have the weirdest conversations and talk in weird ways. When I watched this movie, they sounded like actual middle schoolers/freshmen. 
I liked the three main characters of this film. Uki is definitely one of my favorite characters of this film. Her sass, and her determination make her a fun character to root for. Plus, she’s got some great moments in the film. Maika is a decent character too. She seems to be the one we follow the most, and has the most to lose with this alien attack as her family gets put in the crosshairs. And Jesse is Randy Meeks of this movie almost, giving a summary of The Thing near that start of the film.  The other characters in this film were good too, like Leena, Aju, and Thomassie.
All in all, a good watch! I’d definitely recommend this film! I enjoyed it.
