Institute History
Description
This excellent selection of films shows the way Native and aboriginal filmmakers throughout the Western Hemisphere are moving beyond the traditional documentary form to illustrate the sociopolitical aspects of their everyday life.
A powerful story set in the Quichua community in Ecuador is the basis for Comrades (Mashikuna), which examines the life of two Quichua Indian childhood friends who became political activists.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
