Celebrate Indigenous voices with a Native Cinema Showcase double feature on Sunday, November 14th at the downtown Klamath County Library.
The National Museum of the American Indian’s Native Cinema Showcase is an annual festival highlighting the best in Native film. This year's showcase focuses on Native people boldly asserting themselves through language, healing, building community, and a continued relationship with the land. Activism lies at the heart of all these stories. The showcase provides a unique forum for engagement with Native filmmakers from Indigenous communities throughout the Western Hemisphere and Arctic.
We kick off our double feature with Inhabitants: An Indigenous Perspective at 1:30 pm. This film follows members of five tribal nations from across the United States who are fighting to maintain their traditional land management practices in the face of centuries of colonization and the increasing threat of climate change. Inhabitants: An Indigenous Perspective runs for 1 hour, 16 minutes.
Starting at 3pm, the library will be screening the Our Voices Shorts Program, with ten short films from a variety of Indigenous directors hailing from nations across the Americas and the Pacific islands. Our Voices runs for a total of 1 hour and 24 minutes. For more information about the short film lineup, visit nmai.brand.live/c/our-stories-shorts.
