Chinuk Wawa film tops
Lumbee Film Festival
WILMINGTON, N.C. – Sky Hopinka’s “maɬni – to-
wards the ocean, towards the shore” won the grand
prize for best feature at the third annual Lumbee
Film Festival that will be held online from July 1-5.
The movie weaves together the stories of Sweet-
water Sahme and Grand Ronde Tribal member
Jordan Mercier as they contemplate the afterlife,
rebirth and the places in between. Spoken mostly
in Chinuk Wawa, their stories are departures from
the Chinookan origin of death myth with its distant
Sky Hopinka
beginning and circular shape.
“An intense attention to detail punctuates Hopinka’s masterful and po-
etic journey, one that captures the timeless beauty of our natural world,”
states a film festival press release.
The festival is organized through a partnership between the Lumbee
Tribe and the Cucalorus Film Foundation with the goal of showcasing
films made by American Indians while raising awareness about the legacy
of Indigenous artists.
Hopinka’s film will screen on the closing night of the festival at 6 p.m.
Eastern (3 p.m. Pacific) Sunday, July 5.
To read more about the 17 films being shown at the festival and to reg-
ister, visit cucalorus.org/lumbee-film-festival/. 
