First Nations\First Features celebrates an
emergent world cinema in filmmaking, the most
recent innovation in indigenous storytelling.
The directors of these award-winning films
draw viewers into alternative cultural worlds
through their compelling narratives and
distinctive aesthetics. This is the first
exhibition to focus on the feature filmmaking
"firsts" of indigenous directors. The films in
this program comprise a remarkable body of
work that cannot be missed.
First Nations\First Features: A Showcase of World Indigenous Film and Media is presented by
the Department of Film and Media, The
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA); Film and
Video Center, Smithsonian's National Museum
of the American Indian (NMAI); and Center for
Media, Culture, and History (CMCH)/Center
for Religion and Media (CRM), New York
University (NYU).
