Details

A Sonic Rematriation is a hybrid music video and spoken-word film, honoring Jeremy Dutcher’s reclamation of ancestral songs and the mother tongue of the Wolastoqiyik. Featuring intimate Wolastoqey language performances, archival voices, and dreamlike visuals, the film traces Jeremy’s liberation from smoke-bound silence to fiery, unbound song. A phonograph spins history forward across surreal and hyper-real landscapes, culminating in a cosmic vision of continuity.
