The final ACT Year-Round of 2019 will showcase six Indigenous short films from Sundance Institute. Each of the six short films has screened at the Sundance Film Festival and each is directed by an Indigenous filmmaker. The films celebrate and explore cultural expression and self-representation. CSU’s Native American Cultural Center and Ethnic Studies Assistant Professor Lindsey Schneider will join ACT for this screening to discuss Indigenous representation and local Indigenous organizations and initiatives.
“This endeavor fulfills an important goal of our program, which is the diversity, creativity and immense talent of emerging Indigenous filmmakers while providing entertainment and expanding awareness of Indigenous content for film audiences around the U.S.”
– N. Bird Runningwater (Cheyenne/Mescalero Apache), Sundance Institute’s Indigenous Program Director
