NAVAJO SPOTLIGHT
Charmaine Jackson-John
as part of the 8th Annual
imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival

In previous years imagineNATIVE’s International Spotlight has showcased works by Indigenous artists from northern Europe, Australia, and the South Pacific. This year we are pleased to present for the first time a spotlight on the Navajo Nation. With a population of more than 250,000 and extending into Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico ñ a landmass larger than 10 of the 50 American states ñ the Navajo territory is one of this continent’s largest nations. This program will feature 8 short films by exceptional Navajo filmmakers.

ìAs Navajo filmmakers rise to the forefront in worldwide cinema, these selected films represent a wide range of talent, from respecting traditional values and mother earth to modern day activism and identity. I am very proud to include one of the earliest films directed and edited by a Navajo tribal member circa 1966. It is my hope that these films will be a looking glass into Navajo cinema and our future ambitions.î - Charmaine Jacskon-John, Guest Curator
