A stunning stop-motion short directed Ieuan Lewis and George Warren, Uki tells the powerful story of a lonely Inuit fisherman living on the coast of Alaska, when an oil tanker leaks, killing all wildlife in the area. Uki is a dark comedy about companionship and pollution, telling the story without dialogue and instead owing its tone to the excellent sound design. Made with funding from the BFI, to complete Uki, the pair moved into George’s family home, with Ieuan sleeping in a tent in the garden for two months to complete the film.
