Reviews & Quotes | In The Shadow Of The Pines

Calgary Herald | Eric Volmers, Entertainment Writer
"In the Shadow of the Pines is a lyrical gem filled with depth, sadness and loss."

CBC | Tom Power, Host
"It is absolutely the most beautiful eight minutes of a film.”

University of Calgary, Canada | Anastasiia Gushchina, Sessional Instructor at the Department of Communication, Media and Film
In the Shadow of the Pines is a wonderfully rich example of independent filmmaking. I used it in my undergraduate Animated Documentary course to discuss the topics of animation craft, representations of memory, and feminist agency in the production of Canadian and international animation. This film sparked a fantastic discussion about the affective uses of animation in autobiographical storytelling, and, at the end of the term, my students named it one of their favourite films of the course.”
