Short Peace 2013

A stunning quartet of animated tales, each set in a different period, with only "Japan" as their common theme. The Oscar-nominated Possessions sees a lone traveller spend an eventful night in a haunted, isolated cabin. Otomo Katsuhiro's own award-winning Combustible tells a tale of forbidden love and daring heroics in fire-ravaged medieval Edo. In Gambo, a giant white bear defends a woodland village from a vile demon, while in A Farewell To Weapons, a platoon of soldiers battle heavily-armed drones in a war-ravaged future Tokyo.
