The Kiva Club at UNM recognizes the value of Native Americans recapturing their stories and repairing the damage caused by Hollywood's neglect of these stories. The Native Filmmakers Showcase has been established to give independent Native filmmakers a place to spread their love for the moving picture art while inspiring the next generation to pursue careers in film.
The showcase is sponsored by the Kiva Club, Trajectory X Media Club and Native American Studies Indigenous Research Group. All events are free and open to the public.
