11m
Land Dances Us is a cinematic expression inspired by an Anishinaabe creation story with a contemporary twist. It is about a woman who falls through a hole in the sky, descending to Earth. As she lands, she uncovers a profound connection to the natural world, realizing that she shares the fate of trees. Her untimely walk on earth has left her with only a few seeds clutched in her hand from the world above. Land Dances Us takes a bold step into the AI-augmented world of storytelling, resonating with the epic nature of Indigenous visual narrative and story. This captivating 12-minute Land Dances Us is written, directed and choreographed by Sandra Laronde with Dre Labre as AI lead and creative collaborator, Jason George as director of photography, music by Eliot Britton and costume designer Lesley Hampton. Land Dances Us is the first short film produced by Red Sky Performance.
