A short animated film exploring environmental issues produced through a collaborative 10 day workshop in Sapporro Japan


This film was created entirely from the waste collected and produced during the Sapporo ICC International Creative Workshop 2008 that took place between 4th -14th March 2008. The project was led by artists Christopher Thomas Allen, Tim Cowie, and James Price working in collaboration with producer Youki Mikami and the ICC.

The resulting piece of work was informed through the ingenuity, creativity, and collaboration of the workshop’s 16 participants. The Intercross Creative Center (ICC) is a Sapporo-based supportive institution for creators, inviting top creative Talent from in and outside of Japan to hold an international workshop every year.

The themes explored in the workshop and this film are ‘local living & global environment’ and ‘between culture and civilization: everyone’s story’. The film was distributed as a DVD to the international press and general public during the G8 summit in Sapporo in June 2008.
