Blinky & Me

An intensely earnest and subjective documentary look at the career and life story of Australian animator Yoram Gross, Blinky & Me casts a look back at the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust through the eyes of a then-child. This is didactic story, and certainly deeply felt, but it would have benefited greatly from a wider perspective, drawing in other voices to frame Gross’ professional work, and its popularity within Australia.
