200 is a 1975 animated short film directed by Vince Collins, made in honor of the then-upcoming United States Bicentennial.[1][2][3]
Summary
editA trippy, short impressionistic history of America through its famous symbols amidst its 200th birthday tribute.[4][5][6]
Production
editIt was funded by the Young Filmmaker Bicentennial Project Grant, launched in October 1974, as one of the seven films distributed, sponsored[7] and produced by USIA[8] (the other six being An American Tune, Winter Count, Came to Here From Over There, Homespun, The Strangers and Apache Bill), who were so impressed by the film's animation to the point of ordering six prints of his other films including the Student Academy Award-winning short Euphoria.[9][10]
