Viewing Notes

FF2017 Day 3 - Movie 1: JUNK HEAD is the full length feature of director’s earlier short film. Took him 7 years to complete. Viewing the meticulous craft within this film, the exquisite stop motion animation and terrific camera work, it’s truly an accomplishment. This post-apocalyptic world is rendered so wonderfully with its industrial setpieces and deadly monsters. Absolutely mesmerizing to watch.
