Animation x Music - Selected from Award-winning Works of Japan Media Arts Festival
Date & Time: 8 - 12 November (Monday-Friday), 10:00-18:00
This programme is a selection of award-winning works from the Japan Media Arts Festival focusing on music videos and short animation films that use music as sound.
It has been said that music videos are one of the few jobs that allow artists to create relatively freely and show their own unique styles. In recent years, the need for music videos has increased as more and more music works are being viewed through video sharing sites, and there has been a huge animated music video movement in Japan, especially among young people.
