“I try to shoot sync sound when I can, but with documentary it’s always hard. I don’t like to record onto the camera, so I always have a sound box with me. This is a way to separate the sound and the image. It’s nice to have these two things that are happening at the same time, but are not tied to each other, even though they are. This allows me some freedom to add different sounds to the images, or if I really like a piece of sound, to find another image that could go along with it.”

    MAŁNI - TOWARDS THE OCEAN, TOWARDS THE SHORE

    SKY HOPINKA United States, 2020

    Guided by Indigenous philosophy, Sky Hopinka’s metaphysical documentary poetically transforms the verdant landscape of the Pacific Northwest into an enigmatic conduit to other spiritual realms. The simple act of wandering ignites profound questions about the mystery of death and the cycle of life.
