FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13 at 8 PM

Written and directed by Navajo filmmaker Pamela J. Peters, Legacy of Exiled NDNZ (2014) is a short film about seven young American Indian adults currently living in Los Angeles, California. Shot in a neorealist visual aesthetic reminiscent of Kent Mackenzie’s 1961 film The Exiles, we catch a glimpse of this group of urban Indians living out their hopes and dreams in the current Los Angeles environment. Echoes from Juniper Canyon (2004) is a short film about a young American Indian boy who is forced to face his fears when a secret threatens the relationship between his father and stepmother. This film is written and directed by Hopi filmmaker Duane Allen Humeyestewa. A short music video by Seminole artist Spencer Battiest shot in the heart of Hollywood Boulevard follows the films. The evening will conclude with poetry readings from three Native Americans living in Los Angeles. FILMMAKERS/POETS IN ATTENDANCE!
