Why Man Creates

on BBC Two England

A brilliant award-winning film pointing out the way the creative process differs from ordinary experience... and in what ways it is very much like it.
Written and directed by Saul Bass
For the Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation

In this cartoon Hollywood art director Saul Bass, whose title sequence for Around the World in Eighty Days has become a classic, wrote, directed, and animated a film which says more about man's creative process in twenty-five minutes than many a heavyweight production in twice that time.
