3 things you didn’t know about… Alanis Obomsawin

1. I do etchings. It’s quite passionate for me. It’s like therapy in terms of what it does to work with my hands for hours and hours making these little lines.

2. I like to make toys for children. I make a lot of stuffed animals, dolls, clothes and I repair old toys – I recycle, I buy some, I make some.

3. I like to dance. I dance every morning in my kitchen, repeating the same song over and over again. I get to the point where I love one song so much I might listen to it 10 times, dancing to it. These days I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd’s [The Wall] a lot, mainly because part of it is in my film.
