Japanese Animated Awesomeness: A Selection by Aymeric Kevin

Feast your eyes on this fast-paced collection of animated shorts — all made in, or inspired by, Japan and either crafted or hand-picked by background director Aymeric Kevin. These stunning shorts are sure to wow you with their visual abundance and detail, now gloriously displayed on the big silver screen. If you’re a fan of more experimental anime like Mind Game, this program is your kind of show! With an introduction by Aymeric Kevin.

In our The Art of Aymeric Kevin program, Kevin will also give an in-depth presentation on his background art and the background industry's unspoken heroes.
