About The Event: Nia Tero is excited to bring you Indigenous-made films from around the world in partnership with Seattle International Film Festival. We strive to uplift, amplify, and celebrate Indigenous voices and stories, and make them accessible to Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples here in Coast Salish territory. A drive-in experience provides a fun, safe environment to gather in community during these times.

Films:

Beans - A 12-year-old Mohawk girl’s coming-of-age story and political awakening during the Oka Crisis. Tracey Deer’s fresh voice reminds us of the importance of authentic representation and culturally-specific storytelling in cinema. Drawing upon her documentary roots and her experience growing up in the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory, Deer delivers a timely film grounded in authentic history.

Love and Fury - A bold and honest look at the complexities of Native identity and art, through the lens of Sterlin Harjo, in conversation with Indigenous artists living in the US and abroad. This yearlong portrait of 20 creatives (musicians, poets, sculptors, performance artists, muralists, comedians) reminds the viewer of the rich, diverse, and sometimes brooding artistic expression of Native peoples.
