This award-winning short film is the 77th NFB production nominated for an Academy Award®.
Two ships collide in a harbour. An explosion shatters a city. A sailor is jettisoned skyward. With ears ringing, blood pulsing and guts heaving, he soars high above the mayhem and towards the great unknown. A bold mix of comedy, suspense and philosophy, The Flying Sailor is an exhilarating contemplation of the wonder and fragility of existence.
