Nippon Connection Shorts
Nippon Visions ½
NIPPON CONNECTION presents an eclectic mix of current short films. AT ALTITUDE and JUJUBA are both poetic and personal family portraits. MOUNTAIN shows the animal collective debating if they should help the dung beetle, FORMAL WARRIOR SUIT RANGER teaches us how to defeat monsters with strict rules, whereas an office clerk in THE MONSTER AND THE BEAST rather ignores those rules. PAPARAZZI deals with the dark side of fame, while WE ARE LUMPEN looks at the kiosk culture of Frankfurt from a Japanese perspective.
