No importa si eres nativo de los Estados Unidos, las tierras aborígenes de Australia, Europa, Asia o África.
Inscripciones no tienen por qué limitarse al contenido que explora la identidad indígena o nativa (aunque es bienvenido).

Desde el corazón de la actriz y cineasta nativa americana, Tiger Moon, Through My Eyes está buscando inscripciones para el 4º festival anual de cortometrajes indígenas de Los Ángeles.
