Animation Weeks
As part of KYOTO Cross Media Experience 2010, which holds various events related to manga and other popular culture, we are holding "Animation Weeks." In our "Animation Weeks" screenings, we will show both domestic and international animation.
Over the course of three weeks, we will present two selections of animated works: "Art Animation in Germany ―The World of New German Animation," which includes Jochen Kuhn epic "Exit" and winners from this year's Oberhaus International Shorts Film Festival, among others; and "ICAF 2010," a compilation of current student's works recommended by animation professors.
Aided by advancements in CG that increase their potential for expression, artists are created many outstanding works. Please enjoy a glimpse of the future possibilities of animation.
