The 5th annual Lumbee Film Festival takes place July 6 to July 8, 2023 in Pembroke, NC. The festival showcases bold, original new films made by American Indians, with special interest in those from Southeastern American Indian communities and especially members of the Lumbee Tribe of NC but any active member of a tribe is encouraged to apply.
The Festival takes place during Lumbee Homecoming, which is the largest American Indian cultural celebration in North Carolina and the Southeast. It is scheduled this year for June 20th – July 2nd.
“Each year the Lumbee Film Festival gets better and better. I am so excited about this year’s lineup of short and feature films. Some are traditional and some have us thinking out of the box. Some are local and some are far away. Just like in real life. Something for everyone. Come join us. You will be glad you did,” – Kim Pevia, Festival Director
The Lumbee Film Festival is a partnership between the Lumbee Tribe of NC and the Cucalorus Film Foundation.
Lumbee Film Festival supports the growth of independent filmmaking in the American Indian community. Stay tuned for more info about awards at this year's festival.
