The 2025 Sundance Institute Indigenous Film Tour returns to Tulsa for its second year, celebrating vibrant, original storytelling from Indigenous filmmakers. This 98-minute theatrical program features seven short films, six from the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and one from 2024, showcasing a range of Native voices and creative visions.

This year’s Tulsa screening features Tiger, a short film by Loren Waters (Cherokee/Kiowa), an acclaimed Tulsa-based filmmaker. The documentary highlights Indigenous award-winning, internationally acclaimed artist and elder Dana Tiger, her family, and the resurgence of the iconic Tiger t-shirt company. Following the screening, join us for a post-film conversation with both Loren and Dana as they reflect on the making of Tiger and the importance of Native representation in art and media.

A reception will follow in the Circle Cinema Gallery, generously sponsored by the Circle Cinema’s Native American Advisory Committee.
