The American Indian Film Festival is an annual non-profit film festival in San Francisco. It is the world's oldest venue dedicated solely to Native American films and prepared the way for the 1979 formation of the American Indian Film Institute.
According to the Institute, the Festival was first presented Seattle in 1975 and moved in 1977 to San Francisco, where it remains today. In 1979, the Festival was incorporated.
Over 3,100 films have been screened from First Nation communities in the U.S. and Canada, and the festival includes events such as film screenings, panel discussions, an awards ceremony and networking events.
This festival is not to be confused by the Native American Film and Video Festival, which was founded in 1979.
