The Tragic Story of Nling

The Tragic Story of Nling is a Canadian short film, directed by Jeffrey St. Jules and released in 2006.

[1] The film is set in a fictional city called Capillia, which disposed of its poor citizens by isolating them in a walled compound called Nling, and tells the story of a man (Tom Barnett) and a donkey (voiced by John Neville), who attempt to escape from Nling after becoming its last surviving residents.

[2] St. Jules made the film by shooting live footage, then printing the film out on paper and scanning it to create a jittery animation-like effect.

The film was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 28th Genie Awards.
