The Mountain of Sɢ̱aana
This 10-minute animated spins a magical tale of a young man who is stolen away to the spirit world, and the young woman who rescues him. Created by Haida filmmaker Christopher Auchter, the film brilliantly combines traditional animation with formal elements of Haida art, which are brought to life by a rich, evocative palette and stylized effects.
