Indie Animation

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.
