The upcoming Sundance Film Festival is screening five films by Indigenous filmmakers. They include a documentary about raising a Haida totem pole in British Columbia, a fictional account of two strangers crossing paths on Oklahoma tribal land, and a biological exploration of lichen. Before they head to Utah for the festival, some of the filmmakers are taking time to talk about us about their films and what it means to have a Native perspective behind the camera.
Guests:
Lisa Jackson (Anishinaabe from Aamjiwnaang) – director of “Lichen”
Christopher Auchter (Haida) – director and screenwriter
Erica Tremblay (Seneca-Cayuga Nation) – filmmaker
Peshawn Bread (Comanche) – screen writer, director
