### **ABOUT THE FILM:** *In English and Chinuk Wawa with English subtitles.* A poetic, experimental debut feature circling the origin of the death myth from the Chinookan people in the Pacific Northwest, MAŁ̣NI – TOWARDS THE OCEAN, TOWARDS THE SHORE follows two people as they wander through their surrounding nature, the spirit world and something much deeper inside. At its center are Sweetwater Sahme and Jordan Mercier, who take separate paths contemplating their afterlife, rebirth and death. Probing questions about humanity’s place on earth and other worlds, Sky Hopinka’s film will have audiences thinking (and dreaming) about it long after.
