This film festival, now 33 years strong, has been one of the most cohesive events to bring together urban Natives, and shine a light to enhance culture, make proud all our peoples, and was a highlight of my 16 years living in the Bay Area. Mike Smith, and Cathy, were always doggedly giving voice to breaking Native film and entertainment - keeping the community upraised, enlightened and informed and I am deeply grateful to their committment and tenacity.
Good interview. The general public only knows the view presented by the mainstream media of tribal issues. We need to support this and other tribal film festivals and ensure that they get the same look as Redford's film festival in Colorado and the Tribeca film festival in New York.
