 Activist
and filmmaker Peter Bratt won
the Best Director Award at the 1996 American Indian Film Festival
for his first film Follow Me Home, which also won the Audience
Award for Best Feature at the 1996 San Francisco International
Film Festival. Bratt developed a strategy to screen Follow
Me Home through the non-profit lecture circuit, with the filmmaker
or activist Lakota Harden accompanying the screenings with frank
discussions of race relations in America. In 2000 Bratt was awarded
a National Video Resources' Media Arts Fellowship. Bratt is a
member of the board of Peace Through Strength, a New York grassroots
organization for at-risk youth. He grew up in San Francisco, received
his BA from the University of California Santa Cruz and attended
New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Bratt's mother,
activist Elda Bratt, a Quechua originally from Peru, took her
children to Alcatraz in 1969 to participate in the historic Native
American occupation of the island.
"I really encourage Native filmmakers, or all filmmakers,
to really answer to and follow their personal vision. If it's
something that's really from the heart and sincere, it's going
to appeal to people."
Quote from interview with Michelle Svenson, Film and Video
Specialist, NMAI.
