Queens of the Roleo
USA
Dir: David Jones
How did four petite young women from a small town in Idaho take the log-rolling world by storm in the 1960s?Queens of the Roleo is a glimpse into a timber culture that no longer exists in the Pacific Northwest.
Times change. Mills sit, abandoned. People grow older. But the memories live on.
The ‘queens’ tell the story in their own words; a story of a faded culture.
It is a story of a simpler time, and a story of heroic and unparalleled sports achievement.

Shedding Snakeskin:
The Hidden History of the Northern Paiutes
USA
Dir: Jordyn Roach
SHORT DOCS PROGRAM 21
The Northern Paiutes are a First Nations People who used to claim a third of Oregon as their homeland until the mid-nineteenth century. In older and even recent texts, white historians have represented the Northern Paiutes as a demonic and destitute People, or as “Snakes,” who were responsible for baseless acts of savagery against the white settlers of Oregon. This documentary intends to uproot this injurious “Snake” image to reveal the lost history of a tremendous struggle between the Paiutes, encroaching rival tribes, white settlers and the US government.
Combining an array of visual, scholarly, oral and archeological evidence, this film strives to transform the negative historical image of the Paiutes to that of a people who put up an astounding fight to protect their homeland as invaders depleted their resources and threatened their ancient way of life.Documentary subjects in this film include: James Gardner, Wilson Wewa, and Myra Johnson-Orange.
