2008 Film festival: Contact: Conflict
and Accommodation
The International Institute for Indigenous
Resource Management is proud to present the 5th Annual Indigenous
Film & Arts Festival in Denver, Colorado from October
7-13, 2007. Our theme this year is Contact: Conflict
and Accommodation.
We thought long and hard about the theme
since it's somewhat asymmetrically bellicose -- quite unlike
"war and peace" or "conflict and resolution."
In the end, we concluded that "conflict and accommodation"
really does describe the past and continuing ebb and flow
of the relationship between indigenous peoples and the larger
societies in which they live.
The Film Festival showcases the creative
works of indigenous filmmakers, writers, directors and actors.
The filmmakers have not pulled any punches in recounting conflicts
of the past nor have they glossed over the conflicts of today.
But they are also unwaveringsly optimitic about the prospects
of the future.
