Young Filmmaker Bicentennial Grant Film: 200 (1975 Original Colored Animation)

*Young Filmmaker Bicentennial Grant Film: 200* (1975) is an animated, impressionistic tribute to American history, told through iconic national symbols. Directed by Vince Collins, the film presents a surreal and visually dynamic journey through U.S. history, layering imagery such as the Statue of Liberty, the Woodstock logo, the Liberty Bell, and Mt. Rushmore.

The animation weaves together these powerful symbols, featuring scenes like a bald eagle hatching from a red, white, and blue egg and soaring past landmarks including the U.S. Capitol, the Golden Gate Bridge, Abraham Lincoln’s cabin, and an American bison. Created as part of the Bicentennial Grant program, this experimental film celebrates the nation's heritage through vivid and unconventional storytelling.
