Junk Head
Cinema Forum Groningen
Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenIn the stunning stop-motion adventure Junk Head, Japanese director and animator Takahide Hori takes you to a grim future where humanity has lost its biological dominance.
What begins as a mission to recover genetic secrets turns into a chaotic journey through an underground world full of bizarre creatures, absurd humour and unimaginable dangers.
Hori worked on this film single-handedly for almost a decade, being responsible for the script, animation, voices and music. The result is a visually overwhelming work of art that was praised worldwide for its raw creativity and unique atmosphere. Junk Head is reminiscent of the work of artists like H.R. Giger and filmmakers like Terry Gilliam, but at the same time has a completely unique, playful character.
An absolute must-see for fans of inventive animation, dystopian science fiction and handmade cinema that pushes boundaries.
