Alanis Obomsawin, one of the world’s most eminent Indigenous filmmakers, began her career as a singer and storyteller before pivoting to film in 1967 as a consultant to the NFB. Her extraordinary body of work includes more than 50 films, and she is still making new ones at the age of 91! The Abenaki filmmaker has received countless international awards and distinctions, and it is a true honour for REGARD to host her for the first time. It is a highlight in the festival’s history, and we appreciate this opportunity to join her in revisiting some of the most significant short films she has made.

In order to give the priority to people that already bought their passports, tickets will not be available online for this event. However, it is possible to buy tickets at the room's entrance before the beginning of the projection. Please note that the capacity of tickets sold on the event's site is limited. We therefore suggest arriving at least 30 minutes before the hour of the projection.
