An ingenious, witty essay on making filmed, photographed, drawn, painted, and Xeroxed images move.

An insider's diary on the process of creation, HEAD is a brilliant encyclopedic exploration of the circular relationship between the animator and his creation, of the nature of animated illusion itself.
