DoomsdaysCW#Sundance2025 Lineup Highlights Powerful #Indigenous Stories, Including '#FreeLeonardPeltier’ and ‘#ElNorte'
By Kaili Berg, December 17, 2024
"The Sundance Institute recently unveiled the lineup for the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, which will showcase 87 feature films and six episodic projects that promise daring storytelling and global perspectives.
"Among the films in this year’s lineup are powerful portrayals of Indigenous experiences, including El Norte and Free Leonard Peltier.
"Sundance Institute Senior Programmer Heidi Zwicker told Native News Online that the selection of films underscores diverse narratives in Native films.
"'The films that we have this year indicate how much you can’t define what an Indigenous film should be like,' Zwicker said. 'There’s such multiplicity in the stories and worlds these filmmakers present, even within a single community.'
"The Festival will take place from January 23 to February 2, 2025, with screenings in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as a curated online program accessible to audiences nationwide from January 30 to February 2.
"Free Leonard Peltier, co-directed by #JesseShortBull (#Oglala #Lakota) and #DavidFrance, is a documentary that dives into the life and legacy of Leonard Peltier, a leader of the #AmericanIndianMovement who has been imprisoned for 50 years following a controversial conviction.
"Zwicker described the film as 'rich, well-researched, and deeply emotional,' emphasizing its timeliness as Peltier’s case gains renewed attention in the fight for clemency.
"#GregoryNava’s El Norte follows Indigneous siblings Rosa and Enrique as they flee #Guatemala after their family is murdered in a government-led massacre during the #GuatemalanCivilWar. Their journey to the U.S. becomes a struggle for survival amid the realities of #immigrant life.
"Profits from ticket sales directly support Sundance Institute’s year-round initiatives, including labs, residencies, fellowships, and educational programs through Sundance Collab. These programs empower thousands of artists annually.
"Sundance’s Indigenous Program, led by #AdamPiron (#Kiowa / #Mohawk), is a vital part of this mission, providing ongoing support to #NativeFilmmakers."
