Strangeness Index

Murray Brent Toews, Lora Van Loewen

Guided by a hand-animated conceptual map inspired by UFO classification theory, The Strangeness Index retraces documented Manitoba UFO encounters through animation, practical effects, cinematic reenactments, original music, and firsthand witness testimony. Moving between investigation and imagination, the film explores how people experience, interpret, and remember encounters with the unknown, inviting audiences to engage with mystery without judgment or conclusion
