This picture of Alanis Obomsawin was taken in her office, at<br />

the National Film Board’s Montreal headquarters on Le Chemin<br />

de la Côte-de Liesse, just before they moved to Îlot Balmoral last<br />

summer. Having had the opportunity of working on a three-year<br />

project at the National Film Board of Canada, I had the chance to<br />

witness Alanis Obomsawin’s presence on an almost daily basis.<br />

If you would be passing by her office door you would witness a<br />

monumental intellect tirelessly rewriting our history for a better<br />

future for all. Unwavering from sunrise till sunset, she humbled<br />

us all. She is a true architect of change, winning her battles through<br />

the mind and heart, with more than fifty films in fifty years.<br />

— Stéphan Ballard<br />

“My office holds 50 years of archives, images, and text. I’m<br />

now finishing my 53rd film, so you can just imagine the number<br />

of documents. I’ve grown attached to this place. So much has<br />

happened here, and I’ve seen so many changes. There’s a lot of<br />

history.” — Alanis Obomsawin ( blog.nfb.ca in July 2019)<br />
