Poetic Landscapes – Recent Gems in Japanese Indie Animation
Sunday, May 28, 17:15 Naxoshalle Kino (learn more)
Florian Höhr and I have put together a selection of some of the best animated shorts to come out of Japan in recent years. Each of these works look upon the world through a poetic lens. Whether inspired directly from poetry like Ryo Orikasa’s Noburō Ōfuji Award winning Datum Point, or poetic in manner of expression, each artist uses animation to depict their own unique view of the world.
