For this year’s Nippon Connection (May 24-29, 2016)
I have curated a selection of films by women animators. It used to be a rarity for women directors to
feature on animation programmes but in recent years, they have become a force
to be reckoned with on the indie animation scene. This selection of rare and new animated
shorts celebrates some of Japan’s most innovative women animators from indie
pioneer Sayoko Kinoshita, co-founder
of the Hiroshima International Animation Festival
to up-and-coming young artist Chihiro
Sato.
Germany-based animator Maya Yonesho will be on hand at the
screening for a short Q+A. Many thanks
to Florian Höhr with his assistance
in putting this programme together.
