The Cast & Crew of Missing Indigenous would like to thank the North Dakota Human Rights Film & Art Festival for selecting our film for inclusion in this year’s festival. While we work hard to create good entertainment as film makers in the industry, it is even more of an honor to represent this cause, and to shine a light on this silent epidemic. With the help of our local community, the film industry, and organizations like yours, we are honored to have a voice, and to help bring awareness to this heartbreaking issue. Thank you for the opportunity to showcase our film at your festival, and thank you even more for creating a platform to give power to many without a voice.

About the North Dakota Human Rights Film & Arts Festival (from www.filmfreeway.com)
The mission of the North Dakota Human Rights Film and Arts Festival (NDHRFF) is to educate, engage, and facilitate discussion around local and world-wide human rights topics through the work of filmmakers and artist. 2017 is the inaugural year for both the film and art festivals.
The film festival encourages filmmakers from around the world who have produced documentary, narrative or experimental films that engage human rights related topics or themes to submit their work to the festival. While the festival rules out films that contain unacceptable inaccuracies of fact, films are not barred on the basis of a particular point of view. Films from both new and established filmmakers will be presented. International filmmakers are welcome to submit their work. Films for the festival will be selected via Jury, with equal concentration on human rights content and artistic merit.
The North Dakota Human Rights Film Festival will take place November 15, 16 and 17, 2017, at the Fargo Theater in Fargo, North Dakota.
If you have any questions about the festival or work submission, please email inqury@ndhrff.org
Awards & Prizes
Each category within the festival will host a juried competition for “Best of…”. Additionally, an executive committee will award a “Best of Show” award annually to recognize a work with high artistic and informational value. Additional awards may be given within each category at the judgment of the jury (i.e. best cinematographer, editing, sound, etc.).
Award winning filmmakers will receive a physical award and small stipend to help with travel to the festival.
Filmmakers who have their films selected for the festival will receive an admissions package to the festival.
