Haudenosaunee Micro-Short Film Program 2022

The Haudenosaunee Micro-Short Film Program, curated by Seneca filmmaker Terry J. Jones, will feature a collection of short films created by Haudenosaunee filmmakers from all over Turtle Island.

From narrative to documentary, experimental to dance, youth films to animation, this robust collection of micro-short films exemplifies the breadth of talent of established and emerging Haudenosaunee filmmakers. Haudenosaunee artists appearing on the filmmaker panel include host Terry Jones (Seneca), and TBA.
