Israel 2010 Animated Film Stamp Flip book 

Issue date 21 November 2010

In 2010, the Israel Philatelic Service issued a stamp sheet celebrating 50 years of ASIFA (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation).

The sheet is comprised of 15 stamps which vary slightly from one to the next and feature an animated cycle of motion: a farmer picks a sabra fruit, peels it and hands it to a girl who then eats it, and so forth.


In order to illustrate the movement of animation the Israel Philatelic Service has produced a stamp booklet in the form of a “flip book”. The pages are flipped and the images give the impression of movement. The booklet consists of 15 pages each with a self-adhesive Israeli Animation stamp.
