Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Revelatory existential masterpiece of love and loss, hallucinations and mundanity, renewal and dissociation on planet Earth. Bill’s hand-drawn life of dazzling optical and cinematic illusions caught the world by surprise - gaining stacks of Best Animated Film of All Time accolades. It’s a profound, humanity-inducing gem of animation art rippling with an intense tenderness and unshakeable sadness."

IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY
Returning to the Cube for the first time since 2012, It’s Such a Beautiful Day has been hailed by critics and audiences alike as one of the best animated films of all time.
Originally released as three short films over the course of six years, the picture was captured entirely in- camera on a 35mm rostrum animation stand. Built in the 1940s and used by Hertzfeldt on all of his animated films since 1999, it was one of the last surviving cameras of its kind still operating in the world, indispensable in creating the story's unique images and visual effects.
In 2012, the three completed short films about a man named Bill were seamlessly combined to create a new feature film.
ME
Don Hertzfeldt’s newest animated film ME is a 22-minute musical odyssey about trauma, technology, and the retreat of humanity into itself.
