Of Stars and Men

  1. Overview
  2. Description
  3. Fact Sheet

Through this playful and poetic film, John and Faith Hubley show off their passion for scientists and their theories about the universe.

Of Stars and Men won the Special Jury Award at Annecy 1962, and this year at the Musée-Château, you will have the chance to see a restored version of this amazing film.

Based on the book by astronomer Harlow Shapley, the two artists use themes such as outer space, time, matter and energy to follow the quest of a child (representing humankind) to find its place in the universe.
The unique graphic style of the film provides a visually unusual and fascinating experience.
