Sahkanaga

Sahkanaga (pronounced “sock-uh-nogga” and Cherokee for “Great Blue Hills of God”) is a fictional exploration of a scandal that rocked a tight-knit community in the Appalachian foothills of northwest Georgia. Shot in Walker County, GA, and cast entirely with local actors, many of whom had a direct connection to the real-life story, the film presents an unknowable tragedy from the perspective of one teenager who must grapple with the consequences of secrets and the difficulties of forgiveness. True to the roots of Southern Gothic, it is full of dark humor.

Tickets are $8, or $40 for a pass to all 6 films and are available by calling 912-525-5050 or online.

We Still Live Here

We Still Live Here (Âs Nutayuneân) tells a remarkable story of cultural revival by the Wampanoag of Southeastern Massachusetts. Their ancestors ensured the survival of the first English settlers in America, and lived to regret it. Now they are bringing their language home again.

The story begins in 1994 when Jessie Little Doe, an intrepid, thirty-something Wampanoag social worker, began having recurring dreams: familiar-looking people from another time addressing her in an incomprehensible language. Jessie was perplexed and a little annoyed- why couldn’t they speak English? Later, she realized they were speaking Wampanoag, a language no one had used for more than a century. These events sent her and members of the Aquinnah and Mashpee Wampanaog communities on an odyssey that would uncover hundreds of documents written in their language, lead Jessie to a Masters in Linguistics at MIT, and result in something that had never been done before – bringing a language alive again in an American Indian community after many generations with no Native speakers.

Tickets are $8 each, or $40 for a pass to all 6 films and are available by calling 912-525-5050 or online.
