Katrina Bray as Joan of Arc

Synopsis: A surreal and minimalist version of the story of Joan of Arc. The film was created during a residency at DAÏMÔN centre de production in Gatineau, Quebec. 

‘A tour de force.’
– Christopher Rohde, DirectorMirror Mountain Film Festival

‘Pixie Cram’s Joan uses stop-motion animation and pixilation techniques to tell the story of Joan of Arc. The effect is so jarring that one cannot tell the film is even animated. Through this technique and dark, moody lighting, the beautifully shot, emotive film seemed to resonate extremely well with the audience.’
– Ottawa Tonite
