Bennie Klain is excited. This is evident in the first words that pour out of his mouth when asked about his latest film, Weaving Worlds, being accepted to the upcoming South by Southwest Film Festival. Adding to the excitement is the fact that the festival will be held in Austin, Texas, Bennie's hometown. 'It holds a good place in my heart ... I am really excited about the premier, not just because I will get to show my work, but because I will get to show my work to other film-makers that I consider peers here in Austin' says Bennie. The film festival, now in its 14th year, will be held from March 9th through the 17th. It has grown considerably in stature in recent years and it is considered a privilege for a film to be a part of it. Weaving Worlds will screen in the Lone Star States program of South by Southwest Film Festival.

Much of her recent work has been done with Suree Towfignia. The two met at graduate school for film and video production at Columbia College in Chicago where they shared a technical coordinator position. It was at this job that the two decided to create a documentary on hemp farming in the United States. While compiling research on the subject, Hermann stumbled upon the story of Alex White Plume. At the time, White Plume was a Lakota farmer living on the Pine Ridge reservation. After attempts with other crops had failed, White Plume decided to grow hemp. Hemp is banned from growth but legal to possess in the United States. Government agents had already raided the White Plume farm during two previous harvests, but the persistent Lakota man was planning on a third harvest anyway. Intrigued by the story, Hermann and Towfignia took their cameras to the reservation. http://nativeradio.org/audio/producerprofiles/hermann_profile.mp3 Tues, 22 May 2007 12:00:00 EDT 16:52 Native American, Lakota, Courtney Hermann, documentary, PBS, POV airos@unl.edu (AIROS Native Network)no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/producerprofile/~4/3qCbAb3Q-S8" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/producerprofile/~3/3qCbAb3Q-S8/hermann_profile.mp3http://nativeradio.org/audio/producerprofiles/hermann_profile.mp3http://www.nativeradio.org/audio/producerprofiles/hermann_profile.mp3 SkyRadio NAPT Executive Director Shirley Sneve talks about how NAPT helps create, promote and distribute Native public media, including TV, radio and New Media.

Ben Kreimer speaks with Bennie Klain, director of Columbus Day Legacy. The award winning film takes viewers to Denver, Colorado, where Christopher Columbus and the holiday honoring him are subjects of heated debate. Denver's Italian Americans feel it is their right to honor Columbus, an Italian, and to celebrate his arrival to North America. The local American Indian Movement chapter is strongly opposed, and argue that Columbus should not be celebrated because of his acts of genocide on North America's Indigenous population. Unwavering in their viewpoints, the disagreement goes public during the Italian Americans' annual Columbus Day parade. In the film, Klain, unbiased in his filmmaking, captures the drama surrounding the 2007 parade from both sides of the conflict. http://nativeradio.org/audio/producerprofiles/klain_profile_2011.mp3 Thu, 8 Dec 2011 12:00:00 EST 17:11 Native American, Indian, NAPT, Native American Public Telecommunications, documentary, America, Columbus, Christopher Columbus, holiday, national holiday, Bennie Klain, Denver, Colorado, Italians, Italian heritage, AIM, American Indian Movement, protest, Glenn Morris, Russell Means, intercultural, communication, understanding, intercultural understanding airos@unl.edu (AIROS Native Network)no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/producerprofile/~4/tZehm3Rmck8" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/producerprofile/~3/tZehm3Rmck8/klain_profile_2011.mp3http://nativeradio.org/audio/producerprofiles/klain_profile_2011.mp3http://airos.org/audio/producerprofiles/klain_profile_2011.mp3 Ben Kreimer Reporter Ben Kreimer speaks with filmmakers Randy Vasquez and Jonathan Skurnik.

Ben Kreimer speaks with awardwinning filmmaker Billy Luther about his new film, GRAB. The film takes viewers to a place where outsider cameras are normally prohibited. For the first time in its 300-year-old history, the Laguna Pueblo villages of New Mexico have let video cameras into the community to tell the story of Grab Day, a feast day celebration in honor of their patron saints. The celebration culminates in the Throw--when families flock to the flat, traditional pueblo style roofs of their homes to shower high spirited crowds of community members below with bread, water, toys, food and other gifts. "I wanted to shift people into another very colorful world," Luther said. "Almost make it fairy tale like." http://nativeradio.org/audio/producerprofiles/luther_profile.mp3 Wed, 8 Feb 2012 12:00:00 EST 21:05 Native American, Indian, NAPT, Native American Public Telecommunications, documentary, America, Billy Luther, Miss Navajo, Sundance, film festival, Sundance Film Festival, GRAB, Grab, celebration, holiday, Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico, intercultural, communication, understanding, intercultural understanding airos@unl.edu (AIROS Native Network)no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/producerprofile/~4/IsguPI5iKgI" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/producerprofile/~3/IsguPI5iKgI/luther_profile.mp3http://nativeradio.org/audio/producerprofiles/luther_profile.mp3http://airos.org/audio/producerprofiles/luther_profile.mp3 Ben Kreimer Reporter Ben Kreimer speaks with filmmaker Brian Truglio. Ben Kreimer speaks with filmmaker Brian Truglio about his new film, Racing the Rez. The film, was born from Truglio's love for running and his deep connection to the culture and people of the Navajo Nation in Arizona. "I knew that running had a powerful effect on me and I was looking to see if it also that effect on other young people," Truglio said. Racing the Rez tells the story of contemporary life on the Navajo Nation through the eyes and legs of boys running high school cross-country for the fiercely competitive rival teams of Tuba City and Chinle. Running provides these boys with an escape from the pressures and challenges of teenage life on the Reservation. http://nativeradio.org/audio/producerprofiles/truglio_profile.mp3 Fri, 9 Mar 2012 12:00:00 EST 14:36 Native American, Indian, NAPT, Native American Public Telecommunications, documentary, America, Arizona, Navajo, Hopi, Navajo Nation, cross-country, cross country, running, Brian Truglio, Born to Run, High School, boys, teenagers, teenage intercultural, Chinle, Tuba City, communication, understanding, intercultural understanding airos@unl.edu (AIROS Native Network)no<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/producerprofile/~4/gXgsws1037M" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/producerprofile/~3/gXgsws1037M/truglio_profile.mp3http://nativeradio.org/audio/producerprofiles/truglio_profile.mp3http://airos.org/audio/producerprofiles/truglio_profile.mp3 Ben Kreimer Reporter Ben Kreimer speaks with filmmakers Monique Verdin and Sharon Linezo Hong.
