Native Spirit Festival is the UK's first and only annual Independent festival to promote Indigenous Filmmakers, Media and Artists, now with increasing focus on Narrative and Visual Sovereignty. The festival is part of Native Spirit Foundation, founded in 2005 by Mapuche leader Freddy Trequil to promote knowledge and awareness of Indigenous cultures and longer term projects supporting Community-run education in Native Schools. Freddy states "All the [activists] have come to the conclusion that one objective of making video, radio and television is for the other culture to know us. It is necessary to create a bridge to share our culture in an educational form, without losing our identity."
All styles of film welcome - Experimental, SciFi, Comedy, Horror, Music, Dance, Animation, Spoken Word...
We don't prescribe fixed themes, but are on the lookout for films relating to the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage to America.
