    Indigenous Film Screenings

    Take a break and experience Indigenous storytelling on the big screen during the 40th Annual Red Earth Festival. Visitors will be able to enjoy a selection of Native-created films, artist interviews, and behind-the-scenes features celebrating Indigenous art, culture, humor, history, and creativity.

    Red Earth Conversations

    Watch episodes from Red Earth’s original interview series featuring Native artists from this year’s Festival. These conversations offer a closer look at each artist’s story, creative process, cultural influences, and the work they are bringing to Red Earth.

    POW! by Joey Clift

    The lineup will include POW!, an award-winning animated short written and directed by Joey Clift, an enrolled member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. The film follows a Native kid scrambling to charge his dying video game console at a bustling intertribal powwow.

    Behind the Scenes

    Festival visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy behind-the-scenes features, including a look at the making of POW! and the creative process behind bringing Indigenous stories to the screen.

    A New Way to Experience Red Earth

    The Film Screening Room offers another way to connect with Native artists, filmmakers, and storytellers during the Festival. Whether you are taking a break between shopping artist booths, learning more about contemporary Native creativity, or discovering a new favorite film, this space will offer something for everyone to enjoy.

    Additional films and presentations are still being added to the lineup. The full screening schedule will be announced as it is confirmed.

    Schedule and featured selections are subject to change.
