Powwow People - Film Tickets

You’ve Got a Guy brings you Powwow People—an intimate, cinéma vérité documentary by Sky Hopinka (Ho-Chunk / Pechanga). The film centers on four figures—Gina Bluebird-Stacona, Ruben Littlehead, Jamie John, and Freddie Cozad—alongside drum groups Black Lodge Singers and Cozad Singers. Shot over the powwow season, this 88-minute documentary captures preparation, community, and the unbroken 30-minute Northern Traditional dance sequence, offering a vivid window into Indigenous ceremony and contemporary storytelling.

World-premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 9, 2025, with its US premiere at Camden International Film Festival on September 13, 2025. Since then, Powwow People has earned critical attention and festival accolades, including the 2025 SFFILM Persistence of Vision Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival. The project sits within a broader Indigenous cinema conversation, supported by festival programs and industry press coverage.

For fans, scholars, and venue programmers, Powwow People is more than a film—it’s an opportunity to engage with Indigenous voices, ritual performance, and documentary form. Secure your seats for upcoming screenings and see how this intimate portrait resonates across cities and festivals.

Upcoming screenings and venues include SFFILM Vogue Theatre (San Francisco, CA), RIDM (Montreal, QC), IDFA (Amsterdam, Netherlands), IAIA/SFiFF Indigenous Film Program, and VAFF (Virginia). Each engagement offers a distinct opportunity to experience the film with audiences, filmmakers, and performers in conversation.
