Loon Dreaming opens with loons gracefully riding the waves. Then suddenly we see the world through the eyes of one of these spectacular birds. We dive down deep into the waters in pursuit of fish, launch skyward from the water and fly high over the busy highways and sprawling subdivisions that scar the natural world — before gently splashing down on a secluded lake.The artistry of Iriz Paabo and her creative use of digital technology are a magical mix! A forest transforms into an explosion of color, the passion of loons becomes palpable, and their hunting call resonates. A film without words.Montréal World Film FestivalYearResultAwardCategory/Recipient(s)2002 Won Best Canadian Short FilmIriz PääboNominated First Prize (Short Films)Iriz Pääbo
