Speaking of the heritage of Indians, this extremely slowly evolving documentary on the Canadian Rockies. The tourist site, Banff, is presented as a recycled product of a generic past, where archetypal images are layered to create only the illusion of the passage of time. Sites are mediated through TV and tourism until the moment becomes a petrified memory, an image captured as a future that might have been.
