Pratt Museum features local filmmakers
The Pier One Film Camp shorts aren’t the only locally produced films being shown this month. At 7 p.m. Tuesday, the Pratt Museum shows four films at the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center. The films are:
• “A Gathering of Native Tradition”: Filmmaker Miriam Elizondo has documented “Tamamta Katurlluta,” the gathering of Kachemak Bay communities held last Labor Day weekend in Homer.
• “Let It Grow Back (Kiputmen Naukurlurpet)” is about the loss of the Sugt’estun Alutiiq language in Port Graham.
• “Bringing the Stories Back” includes Alutiiq Suqpiag remembrances of the Kenai Peninsula Outer Coast, done in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution’s Arctic Study archaeology project in Aialik Bay.
• “We’re Still Here” looks at Dena’ina Athabaskan traditional fishing and tribal identity in Kenai.
