"Klatsassin," Stan Douglas' most recent film work, is named for a Tsilhoqot'in Indian chief. Set deep in Canadian caribou territory during the gold rush, the action begins right after a military conflict between the native population and new immigrants. This volume includes two photographic series; color landscapes and black-and-white portraits of the film's protagonists.

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 21 x 30 cm, 88 Seiten/pages with 56 color & 11 black/white illustrations - Klatsassin refers to Akira Kurosawa s legendary film Rashomon (1950), famous for its multiple, contradictory portrayals of a murder. In Douglas s high-definition video, too, various individuals describe the same scene from their own point of view a man is found dead on a deserted path in the forest until it is impossible to know what has actually happened. Different threads of plot and time, changes of perspective, flashbacks and insertions turn an otherwise quite simple plot into a dense, many-layered whole which can never be totally grasped not least because of the seemingly endless combinatory possibilities for combining sequences of scenes, which only start to repeat themselves after six days.
