Vision Maker Film Festival to Feature 30+ New Films

Are you a film enthusiast? Vision Maker Media’s film festival is your chance to indulge your passion, April 20-26, at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. There will be 30-plus new films highlighted at this weeklong event. Find out more online at visionmakermedia.org/festival.

Opening night features the film RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World, about how Native American musicians influenced music history, despite attempts to ban, censor and erase Indian culture in the United States.

In addition to showing 15 new films by and about Native Americans, Vision Maker Media’s partners in the National Minority Consortia (NMC) will present films from diverse perspectives, including Asian, Black, Latino and the Pacific Islands. Festival films focus on a wide range of topics important to diverse populations and of interest to all independent film aficionados—language, cultural heritage, youth, coming-of-age, survival, sovereignty, and rising tensions and protest, to name a few.
