Join us May 3–4 for the 2025 IndigenousWays Film Festival, a celebration of Indigenous storytelling, art, and community. Hosted on the ancestral lands of the Tewa people at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, this free festival shines a spotlight on Indigenous women and student filmmakers through powerful film screenings, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking artist conversations. This year’s festival honors both the deep traditions and bold future of Indigenous cinema. With stories of resilience, humor, healing, and intergenerational wisdom, every frame offers an intimate glimpse into the richness of Indigenous identity and creativity.

Free and open to the public. RSVP now for a guaranteed seat. All events are wheelchair accessible and include ASL interpretation.
