Film Festival 2006
Gesture Down
(I Don't Sing)Produced by Cedar Sherbert
Native American Cedar Sherbert visits his extended family, and seeks to find his place amidst his family’s history. His poignant short film revolves around the figure of his grandfather, a singer, through whom he explores his own identity and his role in the family.
This man is my grandfather: father, womanizer, singer.
I don’t sing. I never learned.
His reservation. Mine?
The singer, the only one left.
I don’t sing, I never learned.
So I drive, and drive, and buy and buy, and give and give.
‘Cause this is what he did.
Will I belong?
