A delightful animated short by Sydney-based animator and illustrator Steffie Yee. Created using strata-cut plasticine, coloured pencil, paper and ink, “The Lost Sound” explores the inheritance of language in her family and what is lost when a language is lost. Watch above and see full credits below!
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and custodians of the lands on which we live, learn and work, and pay our respects to Indigenous Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
