Hyperhelion

Director: Calvin Climie

Canada 2008
Nominated for Best Animation and Best Short Film

Screening time 2pm Sunday 24 May (27 mins)

Hyperhelion combines an age-old cautionary tale of greed and destruction, an asteroid eden, an extraterrestrial herbalist and some highly crafted film making to bring us this dramatic animation. The story grapples with the tensions between preservation and exploitation as two characters interact and eventually come head to head. How far will extraterrestrial herbalist Dehma Jow’say go to defend the last species on her planet from the greed of ruthless prospector Speen Relco?
