Winnipeg, 1939: Bosnian immigrant Nihad Ademi conceives of a way to harness the power of the Aurora Borealis in order to broadcast imagery of his vast and beloved adopted land from coast to coast to coast.
Sinekatalog’s take
In 1939 Winnipeg, an immigrant imagines using the aurora borealis to broadcast images of his adopted country across the land. The short is a dreamy, stylized fantasy with vintage texture. A joy for lovers of retro cinematic daydreams.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
