The Museum of Modern Art in New York will next month look back on the career of Alanis Obomsawin, screening films from the 40-year career of the National Film Board documentarian.

The two-week showcase starts May 14 and will feature 12 films, including her 1971 debut Christmas at Moose Factory and her well-regarded Oka Quartet — four films inspired by the 1990 stand-off in the small Quebec town.

The tour will then move on to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and other stops in North America, according to the NFB. Obomsawin is also due to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Governor General on May 2.

‘Alainis is the First Lady of First Nations film,’ said NFB head Tom Perlmutter, in a statement. ‘For four decades now she’s made her creative home at the NFB, putting the stories of Indigenous peoples on film with consummate grace and courage.’

The Oka films — Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance, My Name is Kahentiiosta, Spudwrench — Kahnawake Man and Rocks at Whiskey Trench — are being rereleased by the NFB in a special box set.

This time last year, the MoMA held a retrospective of Allan King’s documentaries.
