Lucia's Short Bio
Lucia Ricciardelli is an Associate Professor in the School of Film and Photography at Montana State University in Bozeman, where she teaches film studies and photography theory, and mentors graduate students in the MFA Program in Science & Natural History Documentary Filmmaking. Over the past two decades, Ricciardelli’s research has focused on the use of documentary filmmaking as an act of community engagement and cultural preservation, resulting in publications, conference presentations, and the production of documentary films that seek to raise awareness about social issues such as affordable housing and homelessness. In the past decade, Ricciardelli has helped forge cross-cultural partnership with Montana Indigenous tribes, leading to the production of documentary films to celebrate Native American culture and to help preserve and transmit Native American languages, contributing to tribal efforts to increase their capacity for self-determination. Ricciardelli's approach to these areas of study has been characterized by interdisciplinary methods and has been closely informed by her teaching.

Documentary Workshops with Native American Tribes in Montana
My ongoing, cross-cultural partnership with Native American tribes in Montana so far has involved planning, designing and leading documentary filmmaking workshops in collaboration with my undergraduate and graduate students. This ongoing partnership has had three main, integrative goals: 1) Using the production of documentary films to teach and learn about Native American cultures; 2) generating community-led documentary films for the preservation and transmission of Native American oral histories and for the endorsement of cross-cultural engagement; and 3) contributing to the revitalization and maintenance of indigenous languages and cultures across the state of Montana.
