YOUR MOUNTAIN IS WAITING - HANNAH JACOBS (2021)

Written by Harriet Gillian and directed by Hannah Jacobs, Your Mountain Is Waiting has been nominated for the 2023 Best Short Animation BAFTA. Apparently inspired by Native American spirit animal mythology (or His Dark Materials), it tells the story of a moping city dweller who encounters a fox and dives into a magical world with said canine. I use the word "story" loosely here as, in truth, there is not a lot of story and, as is often the case with BAFTA nominated animations, its value is mostly contained with the animation itself (which is of course superb). The filmmakers explain the film is about a woman reconnecting with her "intuition". OK. If you like Your Mountain Is Waiting by Hannah Jacobs, be sure to rate it and share it.
