Abstract
Displaced Embers is a 4 minute stop-motion animated film that depicts human and animal displacement through the legend of Bigfoot, revealing the need for cultural considerations when building climate resilience.
Ember, a Bigfoot cryptid, is forced to leave home due to a natural disaster and travels in search of a new one. She struggles to find a preferable place to live that is not impacted by humans. This film is based off of the legend and conspiracy of Bigfoot because the character of Bigfoot is humanoid, creating separation between reality and fiction that can effectively touch upon the urgent subject of the climate crisis. This film seeks to bring awareness about the importance of climate resiliency and the devastating effects of displacement.
