Northwest Film Forum partners with Tracy Rector to present this ongoing series showcasing emerging talents in indigenous communities. This exciting program exemplifies how Native American and indigenous filmmakers are at the forefront of the industry, successfully establishing a dialogue and creating images that challenge and change long established cultural attitudes towards indigenous culture.

Indigenous Showcase is made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Washington State Arts Commission, the Office of Arts & Culture‘s Civic Partners Grant, and 4Culture’s Artist Sustained Support grant.
