California American Indian & Indigenous Film Festival (CAIIFF) considers film, video, and digital media works made by American Indian and Indigenous media artists (directors, producers, actors, screenwriters). In programming work for the Festival, CAIIFF strives to represent a diversity of ideas, themes and genres in its programming, seeking representations of subjects that would not necessarily be made available through the mainstream forms of media. The Festival prioritizes works that balance unique and new perspectives expressed within the content of the work, cultural and social relevance, a creative approach to form characterized by innovative expression, distinctive style, personal vision, as well as the practice of crossing aesthetic borders in terms of genre, medium and emerging content platforms.
