Music has the power to bring us together
VENUES
Red Nation Celebration was founded during Indian Market 16 years ago in 1995, which created the music movement during Indian Market. Up until that time there wasn’t any Contemporary or Traditional Music being performed annually. In 2005 Red Nation founded the music scene on the Plaza during Indian Market week-end. In 2009 Red Nation Film Festival “On the Road” was brought to Indian Market bringing the “best of fest” of Award winning films from the oldest & most prestigious American Indian Film Festival in Los Angeles - Annual Red Nation Film Festival – The Authentic Voice of American Indian & Indigenous Cinema (held in November/www.rednationfilmfestival.com). Over 100,000 tourists come in to the city of Santa Fe to experience Indian Market now in its 90th year – the largest gathering of Indian artists.
RED NATION PRODUCTION TEAM THANKS EVERYONE – THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU – SEE YOU NEXT YEAR
RED NATION MUSIC FEST – Music has the Power to Bring Us All Together
Great line up, the talent was off the charts, the day time performances were sweet and moving, Harlan McKosato of Native American Calling intro Indigenous they rocked the house, the evening blessing was lead by Marvin Shallow and his relatives which kicked off the evening performances, Joanelle Romero’s rock/blues band – Noah Watts, Montano Rain and Trixie Merkin opened the set with James Brown’s “I’m RED and I’m Proud”; a photo journalist stated “She has been documenting native bands for years and has never seen a native band so full of soul and depth”; Clan Destine was electrifying and high-energy, the out-side thunder and lighting was felt and heard inside Warehouse 21 which made for a magical evening; the audience was moved to get up and dance – the night ended in celebration of Native Music Matters. Red Nation thanks all musicians/talent, producers and crew who made this production a success and a special thank you to Warehouse 21. A live recording broadcast of the concert series will air on Red Nation Television Channel in the near future! Photos will be posted soon!
3rd Annual RED NATION FILM FESTIVAL – The Authentic Voice of American Indian & Indigenous Cinema
Premiere screening of RUN TO THE EAST was a success, photos of our Red is Green Carpet Gala will be posted soon. Audience members were amazed at the chosen films for this year’s Help the Earth’s Environmental Film Fest which premiered “Spoil”. One audience member said “Spoil was so beautiful and to tell the filmmakers to make more of these films”. 3rd annual Red Nation Film Festival, Dean Stockwell was in attendance for the Red Nation FilmLab Q & A screening of “The Last Movie” a Dennis Hopper Film. Dean Stockwell shared about his best friend and his role in the film. Founder/President of RNFF spoke about the memories of her legal guardian Dennis Hopper. Other audience members who experienced the films screened shared after and stated “You can really see the difference of a native film that is directed by an American Indian filmmaker vs a non-native filmmaker”, the points of views are so radically different and the choices of storytelling is so obviously different. Point being Native filmmakers need to tell their own stories.
Red Nation thanks everyone who attended this years 3rd Annual Red Nation Film Festival and Red Nation Music Fest during Indian Market 2011. See you next year!
