Why Man Creates

US (1968): Animation/Comedy/Documentary/Short

This 29-minute film by designer Saul Bass is a testament to his personal technique. The goal of the film is to show how imagination is essential to problem solving. Part animation, part live-action short, the movie explores the concept of creativity from societal perception to the human mind at play. Its mini-episodes are themselves ideas for thinking outside the box. Bass was a visionary in the field of film credits, having changed the way they are viewed and presented. His special vision of the world takes center stage in this ode to revolution. (Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide)
