Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On
Buffy Sainte-Marie: Carry It On
Canada
Winner of the Calgary IFF 2022 Audience Choice Award for Music on Screen, and Canadian Screen Awards 2023 Best Direction, Documentary Program and Best Sound, Documentary or Factual.
Madison Thomas' second feature is a joyous, challenging account of this cultural icon's lifelong commitment to music and activism. The first Indigenous person to win an Oscar (in 1983 for Best Original Song “Up Where We Belong” which she co-wrote and was featured in An Officer and a Gentleman), Buffy Sainte-Marie is a trailblazing, self-taught musician with courageous integrity. Her career was supressed because of this but, as the film’s additional interview subjects – including Alanis Obomsawin, Joni Mitchell and Robbie Robertson – would suggest, she continues to inspire the masses.
Madison Thomas’s second feature and an insightful look a cultural powerhouse. Winner of the Calgary IFF 2022 Audience Choice Award for Music on Screen, and Canadian Screen Awards 2023 Best Direction, Documentary Program and Best Sound, Documentary or Factual.
