At Low Tide
directed by Anna Grimshaw, fl. 1989-2014; produced by Royal Anthropological Institute (London, England: Royal Anthropological Institute, 2016), 1 hour 4 mins
Every day, carrying the simplest of tools, diggers across coastal Maine set out at low tide to dig for clams on the wide mud flats that stretch far into the bay. It is backbreaking work.

Every day, carrying the simplest of tools, diggers across coastal Maine set out at low tide to dig for clams on the wide mud flats that stretch far into the bay. It is backbreaking work. But it has an unusual beauty that emanates from the ebb and flow of the tide, the shifts of light and wind, the skill and rhythm of digging, and the sound and texture of deep, viscous mud. At Low Tide explores the choreography of digging through a portrait of a man who lives and works according to the tide. In its focus on pattern, movement and repetition, the film evokes the sensory richness and poetic dimensions of clam digging, offering a new perspective on contemporary American culture.

Indigenous media production is a tool for autonomy, activism, cross-cultural education, and critical self-representation. Through interviews with indigenous filmmakers from Nepal and Taiwan and an intimate look at the Nepal International Indigenous Film Festival, the film articulates the demand for culturally relevant broadcasting and community building through media production, distribution, and exhibition. Film festivals provide a critical platform to foster dialogue, illuminate pan-indigenous concerns for land and rights, and insert an alternative narrative into the hegemony of commercial and mainstream representation.
