Junk World

With his previous hit Junk Head, Takahide Hori captivated film festivals around the world. Now the director returns with Junk World, sending us on another journey through his twisted stop-motion universe.

Junk Head can easily be counted among the most original films of recent years. It stands out for its unique stop-motion animation, oppressive post-apocalyptic atmosphere, and brilliantly rendered bizarre characters struggling to survive at any cost. Following its international success and its reception at Future Gate, the director continues in Junk World, which takes us more than a thousand years before the events of the first film. Its protagonist, a diminutive robot named Robin, embarks on a long and arduous journey filled with dangers and encounters with the obscure inhabitants of this inhospitable wasteland. The story is brought to life through distinctive animation of remarkable technical precision.
