Nothing you need to see
2020 Adults 4 min
by ITO Keigo, Keigo ITO
Surreal, slightly experimental and excellently animated film Nothing You Need to See takes place in a subway train carriage. A young passenger has got problems with his face. It is rotating on his head as a mask and constantly showing its other side. The author suffices with gentle pencil strokes and three colours to create a very original work within three minutes of running time.
