Quebec Native Filmmaker Alanis Obomsawim is the second woman and first native to win the Toronto-City Award for best Canadian feature for her film, Kanesatake: 270 years of resistance, a documentary in the Canadian Cinema-Verite tradition. Obomsawin's NFB film documents the 1990 Standoff between Mohawks and the military at Oka, from an Aboriginal perspective, and was chosen amongst other Canadian contenders, the likes of Francois Girard, Deny's Archand, David Wellington, and John Greyson. Kanehsatake saw Obomsawin and her crew spend 50 days bedhind the Oka barricades, and elicited from its Toronto audience a desire to see justice done to Canada's native people. The festival of Festivals is not technically competitive, but its numerous awards have been increasingly in focus.
