Filmed with a 1924 hand-crank Cine-Kodak camera,[3] Shaman Trail Scout 'Coyote' takes a journey which transcends time, from Inwood Park (where the island was traded for beads and booze), down a native trail (now 'Broadway'), into lower Manhattan (sacred burial ground, now including the newest natives of this island empire).

Shot before, during and after 9/11, 'Native New Yorker' took several years of filming, with a running length of 13 minutes. This is a film by Steve Bilich with an original score composed by William Susman.

New Internationalist calls 'Native New Yorker' "...a conventionally unclassifiable short... In 13 minutes it brilliantly encapsulates aeons."[4]

"...the stuff dreams - and nightmares - are made of."[5] -The Austin Chronicle

In 2009, the film score to Native New Yorker was released on a CD entitled Music for Moving Pictures.[6]

In 2011, the Tribeca Film Institute selected Native New Yorker for inclusion [7] in their Reframe Collection which "shares the best of our visual heritage." [8]

In 2013, the Sound of Silent Film Festival[9] screened Native New Yorker with a live orchestra [10] at the Anthology Film Archives in New York City.

In 2014, The 50th Pesaro Film Festival in Pesaro Italy featured Native New Yorker in Panorama U.S.A. – Il cinema sperimentale-narrativo nel nuovo millennio[11]

In 2015, The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. featured Native New Yorker in a retrospective entitled "American Experiments in Narrative: 2000-2015" [12]

Broadcasts
gollark: It is pretty much automated nowadays, so not having it is... odd.
gollark: It's kind of a fuzzy term.
gollark: "Right to repair" is more about making companies make devices more repairable, somehow.
gollark: I only use °Rø, the most convenient and practical system.
gollark: I'm sure I vaguely remember hearing about Roswell and some relation to aliens. It's obviously aliens who are annoyed by your siren.
