One of the events I wished we’d been able to catch at last years OAIF was a retrospective on the Canadian animation studio Headgear which celebrated its 10 year anniversary last year. What was clear by talking to everyone that had seen the retro was the insane diversity of work that comes out of Headgear. Take these new spots by director Julian Grey for the Detroit Institute of Art. They’re sharp 2D spots (for one of the best damn museums in the country) called "Flower Woman" and "Hat Man". Julian directed a short that’s featured in our new tour this year called “Forgetfulness”. This spot was originally commissioned by the Sundance Channel and it knocked our socks off at the Platform festival last summer. Look for “Forgetfulness on the big screen this summer at the DIA’s cinema when Animation Show rolls into town and peruse Headgear’s site for more incredible work.
