Self portrait is a simple short film. Its definitely not something you will regret seeing, but it doesn't really leave much of an impact. The story is simple, a sculptor creates a demon that comes to life and the demon attempts to become the creator by sculpting the creator. That is really it, no real characterization or story (granted it is a short film). On the other hand the stop motion animation looks great. As someone who tried stop motion animation and knows at least what goes into it, it was great seeing a complex piece of art .Its also rare to see stop motion animation and actually seeing it is rather cool (even if it is rather old). The music itself is okay sets the mood I guess.
Overall, its a decent piece of animation that hopefully you will not regret seeing if you do decide to see it.
