Largely, the celebration of a piece of film focuses purely on narrative structure, which begs the question, if you have no clue what a film’s ‘about’ can you truthfully say you liked it? Christian Schlaeffer’s animation The Return of John Frum is proof positive that you can.
I just drew around and that’s what came out. When you draw enough and there’s something you like, you just go further in that direction and something like that surfaces.
