Christopher Auchter (Computer Animation '05) won for Best Animated Film or Series for Young Audiences, while Amanda Strong (Bachelor of Illustration '09) took home the Canadian Film Institute Award for Best Canadian Animation. Works stood out Auchter's and Strong's works stood out from 105 short films representing 85 countries that were selected to compete at the competition, which ran from Sept. 20-24. "It's wonderful to see our arts graduates recognized at such a prestigious festival," Ronni Rosenberg, Dean of Sheridan's Faculty of Animation, Arts and Design, said in a press release. "As Canada works through issues of reconciliation with its Indigenous communities it's refreshing to see the judges reward such powerful and personal stories," Rosenberg added. Auchter's film The Mountain of Sgaana: A Magical Journey into the Haida Underworld reflects his Haida heritage. It tells a tale of a young man who is stolen into the spirit world, and the woman who comes to his rescue. Strong's Four Faces of the Moon also shares Indigenous stories. The 13-minute film follows an Indigenous photographer as she travels through time, revealing the impact of colonialism on her Métis, Cree and Anishnaabe ancestors. Sheridan is world-renowned for its animation and illustration programs, which attract students to the Trafalgar Road campus in Oakville. Graduates of the programs go on to work at studios across North America, and have won many awards, including Oscars.
