Every year\, we expand the workshop to include new curriculum\, new technology and new equipment. \nOur multimedia curriculum includes short film production that reflect the community and current issues effecting the youth participants. This entails the development and creation of documentaries\, scripted narratives and PSA’s produced entirely by the young filmmakers. Curriculum includes learning proper camera operation\, on-set sound recording\, directing actors\, lighting scenes\, editing and music composition. The youth present their final pieces to their community at the conclusion of the workshop. \n\n    In 2019\, we launched the Native Youth Animation Workshop. This program offers hands on instruction in 3-D animation software\, 2-D animation drawn by hand and stop-motion animation. The workshop also provides tours of animation and visual effects studios. This initiative is meant to provide Native youth with the inspiration to explore animation as a viable opportunity and career path. This program has partnered with numerous studios and networks to offer genuine access. \n\nIn 2021\, we created the Native Youth Virtual Reality Workshop. This program introduces cutting edge virtual reality applications and video production to Native youth. The workshop teaches new technology to Native youth so they can have every opportunity available in new technology. This program provides an in-depth look into the possibilities virtual reality provides our community. Our organization has partnered with the most high profile tech companies to provide this program. Check out some stills and vids here! \n\nThe entire program culminates with the Native Youth Multimedia Weekend in November. This has youth from all of our programs attend our annual film festival at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. This initiative has youth participants from several reservations and communities attend studio tours\, production workshops\, film screenings and attendance to the Native American Media Awards. \nCheck Out Our Past and Current Workshops! \n2023\n2022\n2021\n2020\n2019\n2018\n2017\n2016\n2015\n2014\n2013\n2012\n2011\n2010\n2009 \n  \nSponsors: \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Meta\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n National Endowment for the Arts\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Los Angeles County Arts & Culture\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n San Manuel Band of Mission Indians\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n United Talent Agency\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Comcast NBCUniversal\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Sony Pictures Entertainment\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Sony Electronics\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Verizon\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n California Humanities\n \n \n \n \n \n View Image\n \n Union Bank\n \n \n \n\n\n  URL:https://laskinsfest.com/event/youth-media-and-tech-workshop-overview/ CATEGORIES:Youth Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20090628T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220510T170000 DTSTAMP:20260731T114726 CREATED:20220510T030927Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220529T013900Z UID:10826-1246176000-1652202000@laskinsfest.com SUMMARY:2009 Native Youth Media and Tech Workshops DESCRIPTION:Since 2009\, we have taught film workshops to youth at reservations and Native American urban centers throughout the United States and Canada. The participating youth learn about writing\, directing\, shooting and editing their own movies.  Equally important\, the youth present these films to their tribal communities and speak before an audience. Check out images from our first Native youth cohort: \n \nIn 2009\, we collaborated with Central High\, a federally funded Native American High School located in downtown Los Angeles.  We worked with over a dozen Native American youth who reside in Los Angeles.  For the entire eight-day workshop\, we brought the participating youth to the University of Southern California’s George Lucas School of Cinematic Arts. This was one of our sponsoring organizations that provided classrooms\, computer labs\, and production equipment.  The youth produced  narrative films and presented them at the Pechanga Indian Reservation in Riverside\, California. Check out one of the films they produced during the week: URL:https://laskinsfest.com/event/2009-native-youth-media-and-tech-workshops/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20151112 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20151116 DTSTAMP:20260731T114726 CREATED:20160209T133434Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170801T230929Z UID:241-1447286400-1447631999@laskinsfest.com SUMMARY:9th Annual LA SKINS FILM FESTIVAL DESCRIPTION:The LA SKINS FEST offers a genuine voice for emerging Native American actors\, filmmakers\, writers\, directors and our community of artists.

The SKINS AWARD SHOW is our closing night event that honors the great achievements in Native American filmmaking. \nWe had a groundbreaking festival in 2013 and have since increased our events\, youth outreach and opportunities to be year round. \nThe Barcid Foundation is a non-profit tax-exempt organization and is the presenting sponsor of the Los Angeles SKINS FEST. The Barcid Foundation is dedicated to the education\, preservation and observance of Indigenous people and heritage. The foundation is presenting the Los Angeles SKINS FEST to provide the entire Southern California population access to a community and culture that is otherwise ignored. \nEvery year\, we have grown and developed our programs to offer new and genuine opportunities to our youth and community.

This compelling film tells the story of the origins of the CRIT reservation\, from its ancestral origins with the Mohave tribe through the 150 year history since CRIT was established. \nThe film\, produced for the CRIT Mohave Elders Committee by Hemet Productions\, outlines how the indigenous people of the lower Colorado River lived in precolonial times\, who Chief Irataba and his nephew Manataba were\, and how the reservation got started. \nRare interviews with CRIT elders are included\, in which they tell the filmmakers about the threat of losing their native language\, and losing the songs that have been passed orally from generation to generation. With fewer and fewer fluent Mohave speakers left\, there are less opportunities to teach the language to younger people. The film shows footage from language classes taught by Sheldon Swick\, a Mohave elder who passed away during the film’s production. \nThe CRIT reservation today incorporates four tribes: the Mohave\, Chemehuevi\, Hopi and Navajo. Many of the film’s interviewees express optimism about the future for the CRIT people and talk about a recent resurgence of interest from younger tribal members in birdsinging\, dancing and other traditions of their tribes.

At the time of termination\, the Klamath Tribes were the second wealthiest tribe in the nation. The effects of termination were devastating beyond measure. The Tribe regained federal recognition in 1984 and to date have failed to see any portion of their land base restored.
