Through all the years of the Native Program's work, there has been the creation and sustaining of an Indigenous film circle. The circle of our work begins by scouting for and identifying Native artists, bringing them through the mechanisms of Sundance Institute support to get their work made and shown, then taking the filmmakers and their work back to Native lands to inspire new generations of filmmakers. The newly created Native Filmmakers Lab is a vital part of the circle, it is the beginning and the end and the connection point where the circle continues infinitely.
Participants will engage deeply in development of work on individual projects, help to strengthen the stories and the craft of the filmmakers, and start charting a path towards production. Eventually these films will be made and we'll bring them back to Native lands, so as to keep the Indigenous film circle flowing strongly.
