Wild Life

Directed by Amanda Forbis, Wendy Tilby

A melancholic hand-drawn portrait of displacement and isolation on the Canadian frontier, where a young English colonist confronts the vast, indifferent wilderness and his own homesickness.

This Oscar-nominated animated short tells the story of a dapper young remittance man who is sent from England to Alberta to attempt ranching in 1909.
