Mountain Time Arts in collaboration with Tinworks Art presents an evening of Indigenous storytelling through three short films: How The Land Remembers Us, Tiny, and Learning I’m Home. Through diverse mediums, these short documentary films listen to the voices of land, family, and community.

This event is the premiere community screening in Bozeman for How The Land Remembers Us. A film that shares the story of Mountain Time Art’s “Yellowstone Revealed” project in Yellowstone National Park. It is accompanied by two award-winning short documentary films that have been screened at film festivals across Turtle Island (USA & Canada) and the world.

This evening celebrates Indigenous filmmaking & art while aiming to evoke important dialogue about storytelling sovereignty.

Join us at 6 pm for a community feed and gathering.

Screenings begin at 7 pm with a total runtime of 54 minutes.

This event is free and open to the public.

HOW THE LAND REMEMBERS US
20 minutes | 2024 | USA
Director: Jared Wahkinney
As Yellowstone National Park celebrates 150 years, Native artists come together to create a historic art installation and evoke long-overdue dialogue on the land that 27+ tribes have called home for much longer. This film journeys through how this project, “Yellowstone Revealed,” opens a door to envision and co-create the future of the park.

TINY
16 minutes | 2023 | Canada
Directors: Ritchie Hemphill & Ryan Haché
This contemplative stop-motion film tells the story of ‘Nakwaxda’xw Elder Colleen Hemphill. She reflects on her past as a young girl growing up on a float-house in the wild and unpredictable waters of the Pacific Northwest. As she does so, Colleen notices how different her way of life was when she was young, and how much more harmonious her community was with nature. The film celebrates Colleen’s life and identity by sharing the gift of her presence and stories.

LEARNING I’M HOME
18 minutes | 2022 | USA
Director: Victoria Cheyenne
Following student leader, Maleeya Knows His Gun, this film examines the beauty of creating a true community for Indigenous collegiate students. As the newly constructed American Indian Hall at Montana State University opens, we learn from three voices through the impacts of its first year.
