Animation to Watch: Ryo Hirano
Sunday, October 23, 2016
In recent years, Ryo Hirano has been an animation festival favourite with his surreal works Holiday (ホリデイ, 2011) and Paradise (パラダイス, 2013). Paradise can be found on the DVD L'Animation Indépendante Japonaise, Volume 3 (FR/EN, 2015) from Les films du paradoxe, but Hirano has posted his earlier works online for fans to enjoy.
Learn more about Hirano in my 2012 blog post The Curious Animated World of Ryo Hirano or click on the film titles below to read individual reviews of films.
