Amanda Strong is an interdisciplinary filmmaker of Cree/Métis and European ancestry,
giving vital expression to Indigenous oral traditions in artful “hybrid docs” like Four Faces of the Moon.
Strong’s work is fiercely process-driven and takes form in various mediums such as virtual reality, stop-motion,
2D/3D animation, gallery/museum installations, published books, and community-activated projects.
In 2016 renowned Abenaki director Alanis Obomsawin bequeathed her cash prize to Strong,
acknowledging the young artist’s important contribution to contemporary Indigenous cinema.
Strong’s use of stop-motion puppetry has drawn comparisons to the work of Tim Burton.
