Native Cinema Showcase in Santa Fe This Weekend

From the Center for Contemporary Arts:
Now in its seventh year, this celebration of indigenous media arts features groundbreaking films and videos by and about Native people. From classics to the best new works, these films celebrate innovation, challenging the persistent pop-culture misrepresentations of indigenous peoples. The showcase offers filmmakers a venue during the renowned Santa Fe Indian Market, the world's largest exhibit for indigenous artists, and provides an opportunity to advance dialogue about the essential issues facing Native communities.

The showcase is produced by the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) and the Center for Contemporary Arts (CCA) Cinematheque in cooperation with the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, the Institute of American Indian Arts, the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival, and the Gary Farmer Gallery of Contemporary Art.
