Wood Child and Hidden Forest Mother

A hunter is taunted by a wily, unkillable forest creature.

Directed by Stephen Irwin (The Black Dog’s Progress, MIFF 2009), this darkly absurd, garishly visualised animation – which has screened at the Sundance, Rotterdam and Krakow film festivals – is a psychotropic head trip about the cycle of life and humanity’s disconnection from nature.
