Having had the opportunity of working on a three-year project at the National Film Board of Canada, I had the chance to witness Alanis Obomsawin’s presence on an almost daily basis. If you would be passing by her office door you would witness a monumental intellect tirelessly rewriting our history for a better future for all. Unwavering from sunrise till sunset, she humbled us all. She is a true architect of change, winning her battles through the mind and heart, with more than fifty films in fifty years. — Stéphan Ballard “My office holds 50 years of archives, images, and text. I’m now finishing my 53rd film, so you can just imagine the number of documents. I’ve grown attached to this place. So much has happened here, and I’ve seen so many changes. There’s a lot of history.” — Alanis Obomsawin ( blog.nfb.ca in July 2019) ACD2 2736 5 OPENER | For What It’s Worth | DAVID PERLMAN STORIES & INTERVIEWS 6 FEATURE | Celebrating Alanis Obomsawin | PAUL ENNIS 10 MUSIC THEATRE | MCS’s UnCovered Reinvented | JENNIFER PARR 12 NEW MUSIC | Exquisite Departures in Trying Times | ANDREW TIMAR ACD2 2808 TO BE RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 6, 2020 11 ACD2 2797 TO BE RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 13, 2020 Live and on-demand concerts in Bourgie Hall are available from November 19th to December 3rd, 2020!
