Screening of "The Eternal Song" with Filmmakers Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo

This event is held on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Chochenyo-speaking Lisjan Ohlone people. We acknowledge their ongoing relationship to this land and pay our respects to the Ohlone people, past, present, and future.

Join us for the final screening in our three-part series, The Eternal Song, followed by a Q&A with filmmakers Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo.

The Eternal Song is a cinematic journey through timeless lands and their Indigenous cultures. Voices from around the world and across generations call us to witness the deep, ongoing scars of colonization on lands and peoples, and the healing that comes through ancestral wisdom. Entrusted with medicine songs and stories, we grapple with colonial legacies, intergenerational trauma, our own fragmentation and culture of separation.

The film reveals how modernity severs our connection to nature, each other, and the ancestral realm, while feeding us empty promises of salvation, unlimited consumption, and individual happiness. As we are drawn into the intricate web of kinship and honoring the living presence of Mother Earth, we awaken a remembrance. A sacred dance comes to life and we begin to hear the eternal song of Life itself, calling us back to belonging.
