"Handing a tiny omnidirectional camera from one to another and transforming it into an instrument to explore wondrous parallel universes, the children-filmmakers lead us on a mesmerizing adventure of perception."
Set in the majestic landscapes of the sovereign Indigenous territories of Canada’s west coast, In the Garden of Forking Paths was almost entirely filmed solo by children. Handing a tiny omnidirectional camera from one to another and transforming it into an instrument to explore wondrous parallel universes, the children-filmmakers lead us on a mesmerizing adventure of perception. Their ingenuity evokes both the ideal of an eye unconstrained by habits of perspective and the utopia of a cinema freed from technology by means of technology itself. Thanks to a lyrical intertwining of ethnography, play and reverie, the film becomes a touching invitation to reimagine entanglements among humans, nonhumans, and the world surrounding them.
