Experience Indigenous Storytelling on the Big Screen

Join us for the Lhatsik Harutkshi (Moving Stories) Wiyot Film Festival, a two-day celebration of contemporary Indigenous storytelling through film.
Held at the historic Eureka Theater, this year’s expanded festival brings together visionary filmmakers from across the world—sharing stories that honor living cultures, languages, and movements shaping our shared future.

About the Festival

The Lhatsik Harutkshi Wiyot Film Festival uplifts Indigenous voices through the power of cinema. From short documentaries and narrative films to experimental works and community conversations, each screening invites audiences to witness the vibrancy and resilience of Indigenous peoples today.

Hosted by the Wiyot Tribe’s Cultural Department, the festival also serves as a fundraiser supporting Wiyot cultural preservation and revitalization efforts.

Everyone is welcome—community members, visitors, and film lovers alike.
