Winner of Audience Award at Sundance FF.
Smoke Signals marked a major milestone as the first film written, directed and acted by Native Americans.If there’s one person Victor Joseph doesn’t want to have accompany him when he sets out from the Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation to retrieve his father’s ashes, it’s Thomas Builds-the-Fire. Thomas tells endless stories, and many of them aren’t even true. But Thomas has money, and Victor doesn’t. Their journey not only forges a lasting bond between these young men “born of flame and ash,” but what Victor discovers enables him to finally forgive his father for deserting the family.
The festival program is in partnership with the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association
