𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: SO SURREAL: BEHIND THE MASKS is a wildly fascinating documentary that explores a connection between the work of several surrealist artists and indigenous ceremonial masks from the Yup’ik and Kwakwaka'wakw nations. Cree director Neil Diamond, accompanied by cultural preservation workers and art experts, journey across the ocean to try to locate the Raven Transformation Mask, an invaluable cultural item that the northwest coastal community has previously had no luck tracking down. Using illustration and engaging storytelling, Diamond tells how masks like this left their homelands, through trade and sale but also through theft.
