For all things possible
Elisabeth Belliveau Quebec Canada, 2 min
This is a short animation, made by drawing with black plasticine on graph paper. It is shot frame by frame, and accompanied by the song “boxcar” written and sung by Rae Spoon. This animation begins simply with two women on a bus, as the bus passes through, things begin to transform braiding landscape, animals and people. This animation explores the interconnectedness of things and the way moments and daydreams imply all things possible. Love loss and longing and general directions.

High Plains Winter (the final installment of an experimental outdoors trilogy) is a film about the winter landscape and how it affects the human spirit on the high plains of Montana. The American/Scandinavian sport skijoring, which involves a horse & rider pulling a skier, is the centerpiece of this visual study of winter on the high plains.

The characters shown in the film are JÛzef and Basia — a homeless married couple. It depicts their journey through Poland in search of a home they could call their own. In this documentary ‘road movie’ they meet different people who might help them find their own place.
