Hey folks:

Angelica Lawson, assistant professor in the Native Studies Department at the University of Montana, just passed along this flier about the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, Feb. 12-21, 2010. This year, there will be a special section devoted specifically to Native filmmakers. Here is the flier to the Indigenous Visions Sidebar program. Lawson said a number of creative film sorts will in town for the festival, including Chris Eyre and Heather Rae, both who made their mark with standout films, including Smoke Signals and Trudell, respectively. More on the festival later. I may be introducing some of the music films during the festival, depending on my schedule.
