Now in its 25th year, the Red Nation Film Festival looks to shine a light on the voices, stories, contributions and assets of contemporary Native peoples in replacing dangerous stereotypes that Native peoples face in media and academia.
Festival curator Joanelle Romero says, “I have created a 25-year history of cohesive research-informed strategies, ground-breaking initiatives, though cinematic excellence, media and strong focus on partnerships.”
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the festival will be held virtually through the month of November, tying into Native American Heritage Month.
The festival will screen 105 films, 73 documentaries, 35 films directed by women, 12 student films and 10 experimental films.
Romero says, “I love Indigenous independent films, it’s a lens into life stories that we the people don’t usually do not get to experience. Their courage and insight to tell their perspective is of utmost importance in creating systemic change through film.”
She adds, “As a curator...
