In the midst of the pandemic we organized the 23rd SSFF & ASIA in June. With the help from a lot of people we received over 6300 film submissions from all over the world.
In this Screening in Autumn, we will be screening all the winners of this year’s competition that might be nominated for an oscar 2022 and the animation special program as well. There will be short films by Director Bill Plympton, known for his work in “The Simpsons”, and his newest short film about the pandemic “Demi’s Panic” and “No Snow for Christmas” which is a story about the environmental crises. We will also screen “Mind Scape” by the late extraordinary animator Jacques Drouin and more.
The Workshop Seminar for creators will be hosted by Shinichiro Ishikawa. Mr. Ishikawa founded the animation company GONZO K.K. that is trying out a new type of project, “SAMURAI cryptos”, using blockchain and NFT technologies. He will also discuss the future of outsourcing films and how to get founded.
The “Discover Beauty” Program is a project sponsored and co-sponsored by the 2021 Japan Cultural Expo . We will focus on female empowerment and screen films about the beauty of Japan through the eyes of female directors. We will also hold a panel discussion between young aspiring writers of ancient folktales and stories.
