Birmingham Anime Film Festival: Junkhead

In the distant future, mankind has lost its ability to procreate and a human-created species has revolted and developed a separate society underground. When a virus wreaks havoc on the surface, an expedition is launched to study how this newly developed species procreates in a desperate attempt to save humankind.

Over seven years in the making, stop motion feature Junk Head is the work of one obsessively dedicated man, Takahide Hori, who singularly created the sets, puppets, sound music and special effects and then animated everything himself to bring this masterpiece to the big screen.
