Posted Oct 15, 2013
Free Admission; Reservations Suggested
Los Angeles, CA (October 15, 2013) The Autry National Center of the American West, Sundance Institute, and University of California, Los Angeles American Indian Studies Center proudly present a sneak peek of a work-in-progress by filmmaker and Sundance Institute lab alum Sydney Freeland (Navajo). On Saturday, November 9, Freeland will show clips from her feature film debut, Drunktown's Finest and discuss her creative journey and process in a conversation with N. Bird Runningwater, Director of the Sundance Institute Native American and Indigenous Program.
The event takes place during the Autry's American Indian Arts Marketplace weekend, which attracts over 180 contemporary American Indian artists to Los Angeles. This is free and open to the public; guests are invited to attend a special catered reception with Freeland and Runningwater in the museum lobby following the program. Reservations are recommended; visit TheAutry.org to reserve tickets.
Working with organizations in the community to promote Native arts through unique programming is vital to continuing the cultural narrative of Native Americans through the present and into the future, said Diana Terrazas, the Autry's American Indian Outreach Manager. The Autry is pleased to partner with the Sundance Institute and UCLA's American Indian Studies Center once again to showcase Native American film during our Marketplace weekend.
It has been a privilege to work with Sydney through Sundance Institute's artist support programs, said Runningwater. We look forward to sharing and discussing her moving story of three Navajo teenagers who strive to escape the hardships of life on an Indian reservation and end up finding something different.
