Blink
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Editing / Cinema Commercials / 2019
A SERIES OF CINEMAGRAPHS STITCHED TOGETHER FROM 2000 STILL PHOTOGRAPHS to shift the visual storytelling into a moving experience, celebrating the courage of the last few indigenous tribes standing still, in spite of an endangered future.
A preservation in film, curating the spiritual similarity and cultural diversity of 36 isolated indigenous tribes, documented over the last 30 years by photographer Jimmy Nelson.
Because indigenous cultures are disappearing faster than you can blink, as their family trees and habitats are destroyed in the quest for human progress. Blink. And they're gone.
