A selection of exciting works by indigenous and under-represented minority-culture storytellers from around the world will be showcased at the first National Geographic All Roads Film Festival, a multimedia event with cutting-edge film, videos, photography, live music and crafts from cultures around the globe. It will be held at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles Oct. 22-24 and at National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C., Oct. 28-30.
FiftyCrows has partnered with National Geographic for the documentary photographic essays portion of the Festival. In keeping with the spirit of supporting indigenous storytellers, three past award winners of the FiftyCrows International Fund for Documentary Photography were selected. Fanie Jason from South Africa, Ahikam Seri from Israel and Tenzin Dorjee from India’s exiled Tibetan community will have exhibitions at both the Los Angeles and Washington D.C. venues. All three photographers will be attending both events and will receive a grant to further their important work documenting their own culture.
