Afterlife (1978 film)
Afterlife is a 1978 animated short by Ishu Patel that takes an impressionistic look at life after death, based on recent studies, case histories and myths.

A film without words, Afterlife received numerous awards including a Golden Sheaf Award, a Genie Award for Best Animated Film and the award for Best short Film from the Montreal World Film Festival.
