Screening Tonight @ Ciné: Barking Water


The Institute of Native American Studies at UGA presents a special screening of BARKING WATER, the latest film from Creek/Seminole filmmaker Sterlin Harjo, who takes viewers on a road trip through his own personal Oklahoma, which includes an eclectic mix of humanity. With steady and graceful performances by Richard Ray Whitman as Frankie and Casey Camp-Horinek as Irene, this story takes viewers for a ride in the backseat of Frankie and Irene’s Indian car, listening to their past and the rhythmic soundtrack that sets the beat for a redemptive road journey as Frankie returns home to his estranged daughter and new grandbaby to make amends. Harjo wraps us in the charm and love of Oklahoma through the people and places Irene and Frankie visit along the way in this sparingly sentimental and achingly poignant film, an expression of gratitude for the ability to have lived and loved. After the screening, the filmmaker will speak in a discussion moderated by New York critic and film scholar George Robinson.
