“The American Indian Film Festival® is North America’s oldest and most respected venue dedicated to Native Cinema. There is nothing like it anywhere. Each year we make history; we strengthen the bonds of our community; we expand the network of support. Our greatest power continues to lie in our ability to tell our own stories in our own words and images.

”
— Michael Smith, AIFI Founder
