Pierogi pincé

Kiarra Albina
2010 | 1 min
As a young woman finds herself lost in daydreams while clumsily performing the tradition of making pierogies, she invokes the presence of her grandmother, who guides her through the messy ritual. The film is a fusion of hand-drawn animation, folk art and stereoscopic drawings made in space, by Calgary illustrator and filmmaker Kiarra Albina.

Produced as part of the 6th edition of the NFB’s Hothouse apprenticeship.
