"Society is afraid of change and no one wants to die; not now, from a tiny virus; not later from the world on fire…" Something wholesome to soothe the nerves. A balm for these lonely pandemic days. How to Be at Home is a new animated short film x poem collaboration. Made for Canada's National Film Board (The NFB): "Lean into loneliness — and know you're not alone in it. Filmmaker Andrea Dorfman reunites with poet Tanya Davis to craft tender and profound animation on the theme of isolation, providing a wise and soaringly lyrical sequel to their viral hit How to Be Alone." This time Tanya's poem wonders about how to find home, how to be at home (alone), how to find connection in the loneliness, how to feel warmth again, and how to dance to find joy. It's a really beautiful poem made transcendent by really beautiful animation - an old book (and its words) are brought to life. I adore this kind of simple, life-affirming poetic filmmaking. ›››
