This program introduces works by Japanese young animation artists.
The program features Onohana’s such a good place to die (2014), KANEKO Isaku’s Magnified City (2022), and WAKABAYASHI Moe’s 3 Intestine Road, Fish Island (2022).
In their short animations on different topics, the creators reflect and ask questions on matters of “seeing” and “being,” each in their very own way. During the screening time of just over 30 minutes in total, viewers will witness a string of different world views replacing one another. This is a program to be enjoyed by visitors of any age, from children to grown-ups.
Summaries
Onohana, such a good place to die
Sceneries that film as if they were alive. Things that recur within memory. Reverberating “time” in different guises. Everything that has a shape, dances.

KANEKO Isaku, Magnified City
The magnifier man wanders in a landscape of ruins. One day, he finds a photograph of a beautiful town. Although instantly fascinated by its beauty, he mistakenly burns the photograph. He was in fact used by the projector man’s secret society, whose plan was to make him restore the ruins to their original state.
This is the story of a nightly encounter in the magnifying glass man’s life.
