A Masterclass Workshop Series with Alanis Obomsawin
The Glenn Gould Foundation is delighted to welcome you to a series of masterclasses for young Indigenous artists featuring celebrated Abenaki film-maker Alanis Obomsawin (b. 1932). The master classes are part of the celebration of Alanis Obomsawin as laureate of The Glenn Gould Prize (2020). Alanis Obomsawin is one of Canada’s greatest documentarians, and an accomplished visual artist, singer and story-teller. In her 56-year career at the National Film Board of Canada, Alanis has directed more than 50 acclaimed films.
For her class of aspiring Indigenous film-makers, Alanis generously shared her wisdom, experience, compelling vision and passion for telling the stories of Canada’s Indigenous people. We hope you, too, will find these classes a source of insight and meaning. To Alanis and all the participants in these masterclasses: Thank you!
