Institute History
Description
In When the Fire Dims, Jimmy, a Pomo Indian, has left the reservation for promises of a better life in the city. Instead he encounters a reality faced by many American Indians who participated in the U.S. relocation programs of the 1960s. When the Fire Dims offers a solemn visual exploration of the complex relationship that colonization, cultural alienation, and alcoholism play in one man’s life.

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.
