Phantom Canyon, a film by Stacey Steers Phantom Canyon (2006) is another short animated film by Stacey Steers where many of the backgrounds and other details are collaged pieces from old engravings. There are so many of these films by Steers and older directors like Lawrence Jordan that I'm starting to think they should be considered a sub-genre inside the general body of film animation, just as engraving collage is almost a separate class of paper collage. https://www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/2026/07/08/phantom-canyon-a-film-by-stacey-steers/
