Offers Special Screening of "Expiration Date"
PHOENIX, AZ ---The Heard Museum Film Festival, presented by Harkins Theatres and Casino Arizona; with additional support from the Max & Victoria Dreyfus Foundation, offers a must-see-line up of original and award-winning Native films. Unique among film festivals, this year's offerings meld art, culture and innovation in an unparalleled, thought-provoking experience. Expiration Date, a romance-comedy, featuring a cameo appearance by 2006 Teen World Champion Hoop dancer Nakota LaRance, Hopi/Tewa/Assiniboine/Navajo will kick-off the 5th Annual Heard Museum Film Festival on Thursday, October 12, 2006 at Harkins Centerpoint 11 in Tempe.
Feature films include:
* Waterbuster: Feature premier at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival, documentary filmmaker J. Carlos Peinado, Mandan/Hidatsa/Arikara, embarks on a journey of self-discovery and reconnection with his American Indian identity. Along the way, he reveals a shocking tale of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers building the Garrison Dam in the 1940s and the detrimental impact on the Mandan-Hidatsa-Arikara Nation in North Dakota.
* Ten Canoes: Winner of the Special Jury Award at Cannes Film Festival, 2006, this Australian film by Rolf de Heer, is about a man named Dayindi who covets one of the wives of his older brother. To teach him the proper way, he is told a story from the mythical past, a story of wrong love, kidnapping, sorcery, bungling mayhem and revenge gone wrong. In English and subtitled Ganalbingu language, this is a film unlike any you have ever seen.
* Crossing Arizona: As up to date as the nightly news, but far more in depth, Crossing Arizona, directed and produced by Joseph Matthew & Dan DeVivo and Best Documentry Winner of the Arizona International Film Festival, examines the Mexico-Arizona border crisis through the eyes of those directly affected by it. This film also features Tohono O'odham school teacher, Mike Wilson.
* The Tribe: This film, narrated by Peter Coyote, sheds light on what it means to be an American Jew in the 21st century by tracing the history of the most successful doll on the planet, Barbie.
All screenings will be held at Harkins Valley Art and Harkins Centerpoint 11 on Mill Avenue in Tempe, with select screenings and discussions at the Heard Museum Steele Auditorium in downtown Phoenix. For a schedule of films, times and screening locations, visit heard.org.
