No country has a greater and more commercial animation production than Japan. But there is more. Original and even hand-drawn and experimental animation films are made there too. Ken Okubo chose the best.
In this combined programme
-
Children of the Shadows
Black & white animation made with charcoal drawings and a bass guitar is somewhere between manga and the Brothers Grimm. -
-
Noise
With the aid of old flip-book techniques, the photographs of Muybridge and more relive the era before the invention of cinema. -
Ema/Emaki 2
A whirlwind of light and sound. Made as a layered animation film and as a work of art to hang on the wall. -
-
Agitated Screams of Maggots
Animation made for the unclassifiable band Dir En Grey, about the fascination with violence and metamorphoses.
