日本文化廳媒體藝術祭 :動畫主義 – 迎接全面創意

This program is a compilation of 5 short animation films and 1 animation film trailer, all created by leading Japanese animators in this industry. The curatorial theme of this program goes along with the festival them this year , “ANIMATIONISM - All Creativity Welcomed -”, depicting the diversity of Japanese animation.

Currently, in the Japanese animation scene, there is a "state of a wide variety of unique things." Works for all target audiences, from adults to children, featuring many different themes and motifs have been produced. Each creator has ambitious challenges, from artistic expression to entertainment, and expression in new media forms such as VR. The audiences are welcoming it. That is exactly what Japanese "ANIMATIONISM" is. In this program, from among the winning short animations from the Animation Division of the 23rd Japan Media Arts Festival, which is held every year in Japan, we chose works where the personality of the creators is especially visible and interesting, and the challenge of expression is being made.

Excerpt statement from Okamoto Mitsuko, the Director of JMAF Overseas Promotion Animation division

是次放映節目策劃依隨藝術節主題而成 ,命名為「動畫主義 - 迎接全面創意」,旨於描繪出當代日本動畫的多元性。節目內容包括五部動畫短片以及一部動畫電影預告片,全部由線上出色的日本動畫師所創作。

在近年的日本動畫界我們會看到好多元的創作,是一種包羅萬有的狀態。作品的目標群眾很廣,由小朋友到成年人,涉獵的題目概念都很廣。每個創作人都擁有挑戰傳統的野心,由藝術表達到娛樂性呈現,以至可用的新媒體行式,比如說虛擬實景,觀眾全然開懷接受,這正正就是「動畫主義」的意思。在是次的放映節目中我們在第23屆的文化廳媒體藝術祭(動畫界別)獲奬名單中選取了一系列作品,作品均呈現創作者的有趣個性以及其可觀性,以至他們各自面對創作表達上的挑戰。
