One of the most influential movements in the history of 20th-century art, surrealism was itself strongly influenced by Indigenous artists, creators and craftspeople who never gained the fame accorded Max Ernst and Joan Miró. Directors Neil Diamond and Joanne Robertson make it their mission to uncover the connections between the work of surrealist artists and the Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw and Yup’ik ceremonial masks that ended up in studios, museums and collections far from their points of origin. But what might’ve been a dry lesson in art history becomes a lively, playful and thought-provoking documentary about the fascinating journeys that these masks wended through the art world and the contemporary efforts to return them to their rightful homes.
