Agricola & Sarah
Jason Levangie, Sydney Smith, 2010, 6 min.
“Set to some haunting downtempo music by Gypsophilia, this arresting stop-motion animation tale tells of a man in search of love in a winding meadow and forest. When he finds it, it’s not quite what it seems.”
Screening at: CBC Atlantic Shorts Gala
