Christmas at Moose Factory

Dir(s): Alanis Obomsawin

Program: Outstanding Achievement

Run Time: 13 | Canada  | Language:  

For her first film, Alanis Obomsawin let the Cree children of Moose Factory tell their own stories - a radical act at a time when Aboriginal people were spoken for. The film's aesthetic is a powerful prelude to Obomsawin's trademark "velvet glove" style of filmmaking. The children's narration and drawings softly comment on the cultural juxtapositions of their everyday lives: bears, snowmobiles, and Pepsi intermingle with Cree Christmas hymns and Indian angels flying in the sky. Gisèle Gordon.
