Umbra

“An explorer enters an unknown world, only to find it strangely familiar”—this is the director’s interpretation of this short film. What would it be like to be trapped in an endless cycle? An explorer who arrives on an unfamiliar planet encounters a nightmarish world, stuck in one place like a prisoner, unable to escape this endless loop. Using entirely hand-drawn animation, creator Malcolm Sutherland constructs a bizarre world against a seemingly desolate backdrop. Canada Council for the Arts
