Of Lines and Men: The Animation of Jonathan Amitay profiles the genius of animator Jonathan Amitay, a Toronto-based artist who uses his innovative stop motion animated films to explore issues such as ecology, nuclear war and human rights. His unique animation uses only gold chains and sand to create lively, opinionated characters, born out of his frustration at not being able to change the world.
