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 the September 11 attacks, '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]
In 2013, the Sound of Silent Film Festival[9] screened Native New Yorker with a live orchestra [10] at the Anthology Film Archives in New York City.
In 2014, The 50th Pesaro Film Festival in Pesaro Italy featured Native New Yorker in Panorama U.S.A. – Il cinema sperimentale-narrativo nel nuovo millennio[11]
In 2015, The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. featured Native New Yorker in a retrospective entitled "American Experiments in Narrative: 2000-2015" [12]
