A production of the National Film Board of Canada.
Solid Ground is a poetic and sound-rich travelogue—a personal journal that reveals the thoughts of an expatriate returning to her native land. Employing the rarely used monotype animation technique, Solid Ground reflects the personal experience of discovering different lands and feeling as though one were simultaneously at home and elsewhere.
A film from the Alambic collection, a creative lab by the NFB’s French Program Animation Studio that’s designed for emerging filmmakers.
