Ciné Alter'Natif Film Festival (France)
The Festival Ciné Alter'Natif, an original and unique event, enables the French public to discover films by Native Americans, allowing them to better share their diverse forms of artistic expression, their worldview, and to better share their message.
Sophie Gergaud and Cécile Vaillant, organizers of the festival, are also the founding members of De la Plume à l'Ecran, which was created in 2008 in order to fight stereotypes about Indigenous people, in films and in the media. The aim is to work on the power of images through photography and cinema, in an historical and synchronic way.
