DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n Turtle Island Production's James Fortier, in asscociation with 
 Diamond Island Productions, recently was the Director, Co-Writer, and D.P. 
 for the feature length film/video documentary "Alcatraz Is Not An Island," 
 about the American Indian reclaiming and occupation of Alcatraz Island in 
 1969-71. Working with Producer Jon Plutte and Bay Area Indian activist and 
 filmmaker Millie Ketcheshawno (Executive Producer), Turtle Island 
 Productions' James Fortier recently provided production equipment and crews 
 for several location shoots in the Bay Area, Boulder, CO, and Oklahoma. In 
 addition, "We Hold the Rock" a short exhibit video about the Alcatraz 
 occupation, was completed in July 1997 as the centerpiece for a new 
 permanent exhibit on the island commemorating this historic event. Diamond 
 Island Productions, taking it's name from the Pit River Tribe's oral 
 narrative relating to the creaton of Alcatraz Island, was formed by Jon 
 Plutte, Millie Ketcheshawno, James Fortier, and Dr. Troy R. Johnson, to 
 exapand on the the short video and produce a feature length documentary, 
 resulting in "Alcatraz Is Not An Island." A special preview screening was 
 held at the 24th Annual American Indian Film Festival in November, 1999, 
 and the documentary was then awarded Best Documentary Feature the following 
 night. We are now eagerly awaiting word from the Sundance Film Festival for 
 acceptence in their upcoming Independent Film Festival in January, 2000. 
 Looking beyond Sundance, we are scheduling additional screenings for the 
 Bay Area Indian community, and we plan to enter the film in the San 
 Francisco International Film Festival, as well as additional Native 
 American film festivals such as Red Earth, Two Rivers, Vancouver, Denver, 
 Chicago, Montreal, and Toronto.This documentary is available for special 
 screenings at Native American conferences, special events, and functions. 
 We are also seeking sponorship to bring this story of Indian empowerment to 
 reservation areas across the country. Go to http://www.diamond-island.com
