- Title
Beyond documentary: Alanis Obomsawin's cinematic worldview.
- Authors
Doyle, Caitlyn
- Abstract
This article reads Alanis Obomsawin's short film When All the Leaves are Gone as a privileged site for understanding the aesthetic politics at stake in her cinematic worldview. Departing from both the conventions of documentary film as well as the filmmaker's own established style, the aesthetic logic of this short film models a more profound antagonism between the settler and Indigenous worldviews than her work is conventionally understood to embrace.
