Welcome to Native Spirit Festival the UK's first and only annual Independent festival to promote Indigenous Filmmakers, Media and Artists, with increasing focus on Narrative and Visual Sovereignty, in all film styles — Experimental, SciFi, Comedy, Horror, Animation, Spoken Word, Music, Dance, features and documentaries.

The festival is part of Native Spirit Foundation, founded in 2005 by Mapuche leader Freddy Trequil to promote knowledge and awareness of Indigenous cultures and longer term projects supporting Community-run education in Native Schools.

Freddy states "All the [activists] have come to the conclusion that one objective of making video, radio and television is for the other culture to know us. It is necessary to create a bridge to share our culture in an educational form, without losing our identity."

This is a rare chance to immerse yourself in global Indigenous Cinema. We hope you will emerge as passionate as we are and spread the word — we want as many people as possible to watch these films.
