Honoring connections to nature and the cycles of life,&nbsp;maɬni&nbsp;separately follows two Native Americans from the Pacific Northwest as they share their personal rituals and relationships to life, identity, language, and their homeland, while sonically weaving in the origin-of-death myth from the Chinookan people. Meditative and beautifully photographed, Hopinka’s film is a lush exploration of afterlife, rebirth, and the place in between” (SFFILM Festival).
