Now celebrating its 12th season, Native FilmFest – a signature cultural program of Agua Caliente Cultural Museum – is one of the most highly regarded events of its kind. Screenings will be followed by informative Q&A sessions with filmmakers, directors, and actors in attendance.  We have put together our top six reasons why you should go to this week's Native FilmFest.

1. Celebrate Culture. The Native FilmFest features films by, about and starring Native Americans and other Indigenous people from around the world.
2. Date Night. Most of the films are scheduled after 5 p.m., so grab a cocktail and dinner at the onsite Camelot Internationale Café and enjoy an evening of films.
3. Special Guest. Elizabeth Weatherford, Founder and Director of the Film and Video Center of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, returns as our Guest Programmer.
4. Mix and Mingle.  Tented receptions will be held daily between the afternoon and evening screenings to chat with other filmgoers and don’t forget to bring your camera to get a photo with  filmmakers, directors, or actors.
5. Celebrating Film. The Richard M. Milanovich Award for Distinguished Contributions to Indigenous Film will be presented to Native filmmaker Chris Eyre.
6. Good Deal. Tickets are only $10 for Adults and $7 for Senior Adults (60+), Youth (16 and under), Students, and Active Military Personnel. All Access Passes are $70 and provide entry to all screenings. Purchase your tickets now.
