MoCNA is pleased to present six innovative films made by Southwestern based American directors and their teams of writers, producers, editors, and actors in the Helen Hardin Media Gallery. Presented works are multifaceted conceptually and formally. They offer a dynamic collection of film, video, and digital media and involve levels of metaphors and narrative concepts around tribal contemporary identity, humor, and music.

This film program was curated by local Navajo filmmaker Blackhorse Lowe (Navajo), who originally premiered this film series at an outdoor film venue in Albuquerque as a way of celebrating, acknowledging and supporting his fellow film comrades’ newest works. This panel of filmmakers explores the current state of Native film in the Southwest. Panelists include Sally Kewayosh (Walpole Island First Nation), Jason Asenap (Comanche), Nanobah Becker (Diné), Daniel Edward Hyde (Navajo/Belize), and moderated by Blackhorse Lowe (Navajo).
