Animation Week 80th Anniversary of the NFB

About This Movie

So, this one caught my eye. It's a unique blend of expressionism and animation celebrating the NFB's 80th birthday, which is something you don’t see every day. There's this haunting yet fascinating exploration of the creative process, depicted through some pretty wild visuals that feel like a fever dream. The pacing is a bit erratic but that kind of adds to its charm, right? They pull in Donald McWilliams's archives, weaving a narrative that feels both personal and historical. Atmospherically, it’s dark and moody—definitely not your typical children's animation. It’s like a love letter to the craft, and you can feel the weight of the history behind it.
