[Linganth] films on indigenous languages?

I forgot to mention this beautifully filmed (award-winning) documentary about Quechua language and spirituality, nature and the land, narrated in Quechua with Spanish subtitles — "Los ojos del camino"

Also worth mentioning is this excellent student project from Haverford College with both English and Spanish subtitles

Not in Spanish, as far as I know, but also about indigenous languages, is

Two more to add to an already comprehensive list:

Ixcanul - a heartbreaking but beautiful film of a Kaqchikel speaking Mayan family in Guatemala; not expressly focused on language revitalization but themes of language and daily life throughout

Hicholes: The last peyote guardians

Thanks Lise - that's the one I was thinking of! I think when I heard about it, it was only playing in LA.

Hi Mike and all,

This may be the fictional film Paul Sutherland was trying to remember. Our Linguistics club screened it last spring, and I found it a delight to watch. It is definitely fictional, but valuable in that it puts language in its place as just one of many facets of endangered language speakers' lives.

I Dream in Another Language (Sueño en Otro Idioma), winner of Sundance's World Cinema Dramatic audience award (2017).

Martín (Fernando Álvarez Rebeil, THE DARKNESS, GRINGO) is a linguist on a mission to save Zikril, an indigenous language with just two remaining speakers — who happen to be locked in a decades-long feud. Journeying to a remote Mexican village, Martín tries to coax Evaristo (Eligio Meléndez) and Isauro (José Manuel Poncelis) into reconciliation, discovering in the process how a dispute over a woman has kept the stubborn men apart for 50 years. With the help of Evaristo's daughter, however, Martín finds that the true cause for the rift is far more complex. With lush photography and a heartfelt message, Ernesto Contreras' debut is an uplifting story of friendship and the enduring power of language. 2017, color, 103 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. - AFI Silver

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone can recommend a film or films that highlight the struggle or work for language revitalization among indigenous peoples?  Or the relation of language to daily life....  We are looking for films that are appropriate for a Spanish speaking audience (subtitles are fine).  Our Visual Anthropology program wants to host a festival and event about indigenous languages here at the University.  Thanks for your help!  Abrazos, Michael
