A Short Film 125 Years in the Making

A triumph for the Rochester Institute of Technology.

RedNationFilmFestAwardSome student film projects have more scope than others. At the very top of that heap in 2015 is Iroquois Creation Story, a 17-minute short made by students and alumni at Rochester’s Institute of Technology that combines live action and animation.

The narrative starting point for the project are the words of Seneca Chief John Arthur Gibson (1850-1912). In the 1890s, he related the Iroquois creation story to J.N.B. Hewitt, a version which was later annotated into a book by John Mohawk.
