The 2025 Sundance Institute Indigenous Film Tour returns to Tulsa for its second year, celebrating vibrant, original storytelling from Indigenous filmmakers. This 98-minute theatrical program features seven short films, six from the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and one from 2024, showcasing a range of Native voices and creative visions.

This year’s Tulsa screening features Tiger, a short film by Loren Waters (Cherokee/Kiowa), an acclaimed Tulsa-based filmmaker. The documentary highlights Indigenous award-winning, internationally acclaimed artist and elder Dana Tiger, her family, and the resurgence of the iconic Tiger t-shirt company. Following the screening, join us for a post-film conversation with both Loren and Dana as they reflect on the making of Tiger and the importance of Native representation in art and media.

A reception will follow in the Circle Cinema Gallery, generously sponsored by the Circle Cinema’s Native American Advisory Committee

Launched in 2021 as a virtual offering in partnership with museums, Native cultural centers, and arthouse cinemas, the Sundance Institute Indigenous Film Tour now continues as an in-person exhibition, with partnered screenings across the country. The program reflects the Sundance Institute’s long-standing commitment to Indigenous artists, supporting talents such as Sterlin Harjo, Taika Waititi, Sky Hopinka, Shaandiin Tome, and Erica Tremblay.

Screenings are made possible with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
