Zusammenfassung:Kimstim is pround to present this collection of short films from one of the world's stop-motion animators: Kihachiro Kawamoto. Famous for his beautiful expressive puppets, Kawamoto began his career in the 1950's. Honing his skills at the legendary Kratky Studios in Prague (under the mentorship of celebrated Czech animator Jiri Trnka), Kawamoto harnessed Japan's unique aesthetic traditions to create visually stunning stories. Drawing on ancient legends, contemporary short novels, as well as Noh, Kabuki, and Bunraku doll theater, Kawamoto's haunting, poetic films speak of passion and loss in worlds populated by ghosts and demons.
