Indigenous Film Festival Screenings
Mar 08 - May 17, 2008
Join us for the second annual Northwest Indigenous Film Festival, now expanded to a full series! On February 9, March 8, April 12 and May 17, the festival will screen a diverse group of new and experimental short and feature films either created by or made about indigenous peoples. March 8 features IMPRINT, a contemporary Native American dramatic supernatural thriller filmed on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota, by Linn Productions and Native filmmaker Chris Eyre. Imprint has redefined what we've come to expect of a film depicting Native America. It is the winner of Best Picture, Best Actress (Tonantzin Carmelo), and Best Supporting Actress (Carla-Rae Holland) at the American Indian Film Festival; Best Picture at the International Cherokee Film Festival and South Dakota Film Festival and Official Selection at South by SouthWest. Other festival screenings include the last film by the late Native filmmaker Phil Lucas and films by the youth of Native Lens. Audience discussions will follow the screenings.
