This short non-fiction narrative is intended to provide additional access to artists of the STTLMNT Digital Occupation” -Razelle Benally, Director-Red Brigade FilmsThe STTLMNT short documentary series was created by Red Brigade Films Director Razelle Benally as she traveled across Turtle Island (North America) for over a year, gathering footage and stories of STTLMNT participating Indigenous artists in their homelands and studios to spotlight their work and stories, producing a gorgeous series of short documentaries for the STTLMNT Digital Occupation. The Director's Cut premiere is a culmination of Director Razelle Benally’s work on the STTLMNT project through Red Brigade Films and celebrates the end of our program season.Following the Directors Cut film premiere, STTLMNT Native American lead/concept artist Cannupa Hanska Luger will speak with Razelle Benally about the work of the Red Brigade Films series and reflect on the overall STTLMNT Digital Occupation.

This event is hosted as part of the online project STTLMNT: An Indigenous Digital World Wide OccupationConceived as a month-long Indigenous led encampment in Central Park, Plymouth, UK, Settlement was to take place summer of 2020 within the context of the Mayflower 400 commemoration events. In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic and with over two years of planning, we have pivoted away from onsite engagement. In the spirit of survivance, we have reimagined this monumental site-specific project as<a href="https://www.sttlmnt.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> STTLMNT</a>, an innovative year-long Indigenous Digital Occupation. Participating artists have gracefully adapted their projects as a succession of online artworks, performances, artist discussions, social engagements, and films. Presented for one year, this new work invites global audiences to have meaningful interaction with the Indigenous people of North America and the Pacific.
