Music of the Visual World: Japanese Indie Animated Shorts
Nippon Animation ³
Starting with the “record talkies” in the 1930s, when silent animation shorts were paired with songs on record, animation and music have been a natural artistic pairing. This selection of recent works by independent Japanese animators, curated by Dr. Catherine Munroe Hotes, ranges from works where music is featured thematically to commissioned music videos.
Guests:
Yuki HAYASHI, Catherine Munroe Hotes
