Loosely inspired by the director’s childhood, SIERRA pulls us into the surreal car racing world. In order to win, a boy turns himself into a car tire.
Sander Joon uses animation to create surreal worlds with a dash of humour. His films have previously travelled to festivals such as Annecy, DOK Leipzig, Ottawa, Go Short and Stuttgart. He has attended the Open Workshop artist residency in Viborg twice and is now teaching animation at the Estonian Academy of Arts, where he has received a master’s degree in animation.
