Wind Burial is a traditional Mongolian ritual. When a person dies, the wind spirit guides the person’s soul to ascend, ultimately to the cradle of father heaven (Tengri).
This animation feels very like the hand-done films Ray Rice used to make in Mendocino in the late 1960s and early 1970s. You can see some of them on this page: https://rayandmiriamrice.com/ray-rice/films/
I used to do a weekly 2-hour teevee show on the so-called public access channel in Fort Bragg (California) in the middle and late 1980s. One show, Ray brought a suitcase full of 16mm films and I projected them on the wall and, in between, while they rewound, he talked about making them. He used a 16mm film camera up on a frame in a shed behind his house, painted the images with water paint on glass and wiped them with alcohol. He made the sound using a reel-to-reel tape recorder after the images were done. He also used photos and objects. Ray's wife Miriam made ink and dye and cloth and tactile art out of mushrooms.
