Derek May (1932–1992) was a Canadian filmmaker known for his work in animation, fiction, and documentary, primarily with the National Film Board of Canada (NFB). Originally trained as a painter, May turned to filmmaking, bringing a visual artist’s sensibility to his films. He began at the NFB with several experimental short films—Angel (1966), McBus (1969), and Pandora (1971)—before focusing on documentaries centered on the art scene: Sananguagat: Inuit Masterworks (1974), Off the Wall (1981), and Krzysztof Wodiczko: Projections (1991). Throughout his career, his documentaries often explored the role of the artist in society, examining creativity, culture, and the connections between art and the community.
