Frédéric Back, Filmmaker
By Charles Solomon

Charles Solomon is an internationally respected critic and historian of animation.

"You don't count money or time or anything else when you make a film," says Frédéric Back. "Animation is a folie amoureuse, something that comes from your heart."

Back's belief in that "folie" has translated into a purity of vision, a grace of motion and a gentle but unflinching honesty that have made him one of the artists most admired by other animators.
