    Afghanimation

    • 2008
    • Allyson Mitchell

    “Afghanimation” uses stop-motion animation to weave a critique of military/media relations and the complacency of Canadians in smothering, camouflaging and covering up the real stories that come out of the history of occupation and war in Afghanistan. This film is also homage to Canadian filmmaker Joyce Wieland’s evocation of the domestic in order to critique nationalism and foreign policy – which is sadly still relevant and current.

    Afghanimation
