2023 | Canada | Directed by Josephine Anderson and Claire Sanford | Produced by ONF | NFB
How big is time? On the remote Canadian island of Texada, the everyday existence of human life—work, play and dreams—is juxtaposed with the tectonic shifts of the planet rising and falling in cyclical patterns of creation, extinction and renewal. In this impressionistic VR project, co-directors Claire Sanford and Josephine Anderson merge 360-degree live-action footage, captured across the island mining community, with 3D animation of geologic upheaval to create an immersive, poetic experience.
Real and imagined landscapes document a journey through the Earth’s formation to the current moment: twinned streams of existence mixing and mingling in an ever-changing flow. As geologic forces continue to unfold, the only constant is transformation. Yet amongst the great heave of history, glimpses of temporal beauty, like finding beautiful stones on a beach, help us understand our place in the universe.
