This series of light-hearted episodes by Saul Bass illuminates the fantasy lives of those who daily watch, listen and dream in the worlds of television, movies, popular music and print. By turns lyrical and funny, it shows how the popular arts serve as vehicles for self-projection, experience, expansion and fantasy fulfillment. The video utilizes a variety of techniques -- live action, animation and special effects -- to communicate some trenchant ideas on our American involvement with popular culture.

A child has only an 8 day life-span to complete a mysterious journey from the dim cave-dwelling society where he is born to a final gateway, the object of folklore. The abstract learning-games taught to the child bear an eerie resemblance to mammoth tasks and obstacles that hinder him in his journey. Can he complete the quest before his 8 days are up, and what lies at the end of this arcane sunless world? The gray, stagnating civilization place all their hope in a future they cannot comprehend and learned tasks whose meaning they no longer understand.

Mixing animation with live-action, Saul Bass' "Why Man Creates" is an eight-part meditation on the nature and struggle of creativity.
