małni—towards the ocean, towards the shore

małni—towards the ocean, towards the shore
Chinookan people in the Pacific Northwest believe in a strange death myth. Sweetwater Sahme and Jordan Mercier wander in their tribe to know more about their culture and the spiritual world the Chinookan people are surrounded by in their faiths.

małni – towards the ocean, towards the shore is the first feature-length by Sky Hopinka. Coupled with lush green panoramic views, and an alluring score, this feature-length film is a poetic experiment in the form of a documentary. The two people take the audience with them in their journey of self-discovery, death, and rebirth, thus making us think of our place in this world, and the various unseen worlds that surround us.
