“Emi Honda and Jordan McKenzie began Elfin Saddle after moving east across Canada from Vancouver Island to Montreal… their take on acoustic folk is charged with myth, mysticism, anarchism, and a love of wilderness…the alertness and drive of their luminous songs actually sounds electrified, but it’s not—they’ve prefigured a time in the post-apocalyptic future, after the machines of civilization have ground to a halt and the remaining humans will have to make their music without plugging in.” -WZRD Chicago
Wurld is the product of a year’s work tending a small outdoor garden plot with a variety of plants, a video camera and an old shed filled with found materials. The film loosely follows the course of human advancement: primordial forest becomes neolithic village, medieval kingdom becomes industrial city, with the development continuing to the present-day. Miniature societies build themselves with the aid of stop-motion animation techniques, while the surrounding landscape changes and grows, documented with time-lapse photography. The film features an original Elfin Saddle soundtrack and is 23 minutes long. Wurld premiered at the Viennale International Film Festival in Vienna, November 2009.
