Native New Yorker (2005) is the title of the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival Best Documentary Short [1] by Steve Bilich.[2]
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]
