Back to the New World (French: Retour en Amérique) is a 2008 short fiction film by Quebec films directors Isabelle Lavigne, Denys Desjardins, Stéphane Thibault and Julie Perron. Plot Back to the New World follows the initiation of a group of French tourists into Amerindian life. They come to Quebec to live “like real Indians” for an exotic weekend. They are guided by Armand, alias Scalpe d’argent (“Silver Scalp”), a retired civil servant and the sole inhabitant of Innusit village. He introduces his guests to the pleasures and pastimes of the First Nations. With a knowing wink and a hint at the “white man’s burden”. Back to the New World considers the general amnesia afflicting whites in relation to the Aboriginal question. |
