FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RE: FIRST NATIONS FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL FALL FILM SERIES
Chicago, IL - The First Nations Film and Video Festival (FNFVF) is pleased to
announce the Path Less Traveled Native Film Series taking place at various
venues across Chicago, Illinois and beyond during the months of November and
December. The Path Less Traveled Series will open at the Illinois State Museum’
s Chicago Gallery in the James R. Thompson Center on Wednesday, November
5th and Thursday November 6th with both programs starting at 1:00pm.
The series then continues on Saturday, November 8th at the Mitchell Museum of
the American Indian in Evanston, IL, with that program beginning at 1:00pm. The
FNFVF welcomes a new venue at the American Indian Association of Illinois
with a program beginning at 6:30pm on Tuesday, November 11th. Then, the
FNFVF returns to Denver, Colorado for a third year as the Denver Museum of
Nature & Science on Thursday, November 13th at 7:00pm in the Ricketson
Auditorium.
Then, in December, the Series continues on Wednesday the 3rd at the Beverly
Arts Center with a 7:30pm screening and Saturday, December 13th at the Emily
Oaks Nature Center in Skokie, Illinois. A return to the Main Gallery of the Illinois
State Museum in Springfield, Illinois is currently in the works.
This year’s Path Less Traveled Film Series screens Sterlin Harjo’s “Four Sheets to
the Wind” as its “Featured Feature” and features outstanding performances by
Cody Lightening and Tamara Podemski. Also on the program is a re-screening of
Steven Judd and Tvli Jocob’s 2003 directorial debut “American Indian Graffiti”.
Also featured are the short films; “The Boundary of Moab” produced by Dawn
Pettigrew, and other short films from past festivals will also be scheduled. You can

The First Nation Film and Video Festival is Chicago’s only festival that deals
exclusively with Native American film and video makers of all skill levels and works
hard to provide them with a venue to screen their works. Once again the First
Nation Film and Video Festival is presenting a film series in lieu of a full festival due
to preparation for incorporation and 501c3 status applications.
