BRATTLEBORO — In-Sight Photography Project has announced its selection of the yet-to-be-released “Neither Wolf Nor Dog,” as the second feature in its “Great Pictures” Film Series.
The film will be shown at the Latchis Theatre in Brattleboro on Sunday, Dec. 11, at 4 p.m. The film runs 110 minutes. In-Sight asks for a donation at the door of $10, with a suggested student donation of $5. All proceeds go to In-Sight Scholarship Fund.
Adapted from Kent Nerburn's award-winning novel of the same name, the film tells the story of a Caucasian-American writer who finds himself drawn by a 95-year-old elder of the Lakota tribe into the heart of contemporary native-American life in the sparsely populated, challenging lands of the Dakotas, according to a news release.
First published in 1994 and winner of a 1996 Minnesota Book Award, “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” bridges the gap between the white and native-American worlds as no other novel has, according to the release.
Directed by Steven Lewis Simpson, the film stars Dave Bald Eagle as Dan, the Lakota tribal elder, and Christopher Sweeney as Kent Nerburn, the writer.
Also featured are native-American actors Richard Ray Whitman (Yuchi-Muscogee/Creek), Roseanne Supernault (Metis of Cree descent), Zarn McClarnon, and Tatanka Means (Oglala Lakota, Omaha, and Navajo), son of iconic American Indian activist Russell Means.
