About the Show
Nov. 2, 2023
Celebrate the work of Alanis Obomsawin (Abenaki) at a community reception followed by a special onstage conversation with Danis Goulet (Cree-Métis). Spanning more than 50 films, Obomsawin’s collective body of work has transformed documentary cinema by making Indigenous stories visible and creating new Indigenous futures. Reaching across her lifelong work as an impassioned artist, the dialogue will explore how Obomsawin has used her position as an artist and filmmaker to transform the lives of Indigenous peoples.
Goulet, who has called Obomsawin “the grandmother of Indigenous film,” cites Obomsawin as one of her influences. An independent director whose debut feature film, Night Raiders, screened at the Walker in 2022, Goulet has recently directed several episodes of the series Reservation Dogs. She has also championed Obomsawin’s films through her work at imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival.
Program Schedule
6 pm: Community Reception -- Enjoy regional small bites and refreshments by Alexis Holland and Joe Wade (Bad River), Indigenous educators and chefs dedicated to the food sovereignty movement and uplifting their communities one bite and one seed at a time.
7 pm: Dialogue in the Cinema -- Free tickets available at 5 pm from the Main Lobby desk. The conversation will include a screening of Obomsawin’s first film, Christmas at Moose Factory (1971, 13 min.), filmed at a residential school in northern Ontario and composed entirely of drawings and stories by young Cree children.
The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, based in Minneapolis, provides a resource list for trauma responses.
