The Native Reel Cinema Festival aims to harness the power
of film to share Native American stories, fostering a broader
dialogue around cultural diversity and respect. Our largest screening is held every year at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, FL, during the Seminole Tribal Fair and Powwow. This event is held in the casino ballrooms with in person screenings and celebrity Meet & Greets. We also have other screening events throughout the year.
** 2027 EVENT DATES TBA **

Anyone selected will receive a laurel and a certificate from a festival committee.

The film must be written and or directed by a Native/Indigenous person, or be about Native/Indigenous culture. If the film is in another language other than english, it must have english subtitles.

    Great event, honored to have our short documentary screened at it. Communication and publicity for the festival was excellent.
