“RezBall: a docu-poem” is a more lyrical piece than most linear narrative films. It was screened at the American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco and, from that, it was invited to be screened as part of the Smithsonian’s Museum of the American Indian - Native American Film+Video Festival as well as several other venues.
It was shot on the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, home of some of our very own Stanford students!

American Indian Filmmaker Launches Kickstarter Funding Campaign for Film Exploring Familial and Cultural Relationships of “Two Spirit” or Gay Man
Navajo Filmmaker Pamela J. Peters has launched a fundraising campaign to produce the short film Shí Má. The funding goal of $25,000 must be met before July 20, 2012 through the all-or-nothing Kickstarter funding platform for creative projects. Peters’ $25,000 goal must be fully-funded or no money changes hands.
Shí Má, or “My Mother” in the Navajo language, explores the two worlds of an American Indian gay man. Shí Má brings alive the story of a Navajo gay man, or Nádleeh, as he seeks to reconcile with his mother despite her refusal to accept him as her child and rejection of his sexual preferences. The film, written by Peters, centers on the Nádleeh who feels torn and disconnected due to familial prejudice against same sex relationships.
Peters presents a compelling video pitch describing her vision and an opportunity for individuals to support the Shí Má film project to bring awareness and cultural understanding of the Nádleeh and the strong tribal connection to family.

Come hear five diverse writers whose work is centered in Queens (or NYC or the U.S.) and another location, as they consider how words can express the experience of traversing worlds. How can a writer provide cultural immersion for a reader through image and language? How does memory and history play a part in how we portray setting, location or place? And why is it important to convey such cross cultural experiences – artistically, socially, politically, or otherwise?
Nancy Agabian, Ahimsa Timoteo Bodhrán, Joseph O. Legaspi, Margarita Soto, and Sweta Srivastava Vikram will read fiction, poetry and nonfiction that crosses borders, cultures and ideologies. They’ll also discuss their experience of incorporating history — personal, cultural, and/or geographical - as part of the writing process.
