It鈥檚 been 23 years since the Smithsonian has brought the Native Cinema Showcase to Santa Fe.

This year鈥檚 event runs concurrently with SWAIA Santa Fe Indian Market and will showcase 41 films in this year鈥檚 showcase.

There will also be two New Mexico premieres with 鈥淗ey Viktor!鈥� and 鈥淔ancy Dance.鈥�

The showcase runs from Thursday, Aug. 17, through Sunday, Aug. 20, at the New Mexico History Museum, 113 Lincoln Ave. in Santa Fe.

The theme for the showcase is 鈥淚ndigenous Perseverance.鈥�

鈥淓ach film will inspire, uplift and triumph,鈥� says Cindy Benitez, Native Cinema Showcase program manager.

Benitez says the showcase begins to build its lineup almost a year in advance.

Smithsonian officials attend world premieres and take time to reach out to filmmakers and distributors to build their list.

鈥淓ach one of these films deserves that special spotlight,鈥� she says. 鈥淭here are other films that are just as amazing. We only have room for a certain amount, but with programming for the Smithsonian institutions, we鈥檙e able to also highlight the films outside of the showcase as well.鈥�

Benitez says the theme is 鈥淚ndigenous Perseverance鈥� and each film will inspire and uplift. 鈥淗ey Viktor!鈥� screened as the opening night film.

Benitez says Native Cinema Showcase had considered about 200 films before officials whittled it down to 41.

鈥淭he films chosen are really stand-out films,鈥� she says. 鈥淓very year there鈥檚 a different program. When we get incredible films submitted, we can properly plan out many of these programs. Over the years, our programming has gotten better because Native filmmakers have stepped up their game.鈥�

Benitez has been in the film industry for 20 years and worked 12 years for the museum.

She works alongside of a team of people who are searching not only for the best filmmaking, but a strong story.

鈥淚n the 12 years of being with Native Cinema Showcase, I鈥檝e seen a beautiful evolution of Native cinema,鈥� she says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 grown exponentially. The golden age of Native cinema is coming back again. It鈥檚 great to see projects like 鈥楻eservation Dogs,鈥� 鈥楧ark Winds,鈥� 鈥楶rey,鈥� and Disney鈥檚 upcoming project called 鈥楨cho鈥� coming up. All of these projects showcase what鈥檚 happening in Native cinema.鈥�

Benitez says 23 years into the history of Native Cinema Showcase, there are still plans for it to be in a wider release.

Being a staple at Santa Fe Indian Market has helped get more eyes on the films.

鈥淲e鈥檙e not there yet, but we have a plan to take the showcase into Native communities across the country,鈥� she says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 always been in the plan to bring the showcase and awareness of these films to the greater community.鈥�
