My 4th World Media Lab Journey
October 28, 2025
A Diné and Salvadorian Two Spirit writer, producer, photographer, and storyteller from L.A., Steph Viera writes about their experience as a 4th World Media Lab fellow. The program is a year-long fellowship for emerging and mid-career Indigenous filmmakers, providing opportunities to develop filmmaking skills and networks through festival participation, hands-on training, masterclasses, workshopping projects in development, pitch activities, and meetings with funders and other industry decision-makers.
Cinema
These are films that show the magic that is seeing movies together, the beauty of the cinema experience, or lives inspired by film. SIFF is a nonprofit dedicated to the creation of vibrant experiences and spaces that champion film discovery and arts education. Help us preserve the cinema experience today.
