Five independent shorts move through a musical fantasy, a lunar treasure hunt, a child’s dream adventure, a living puppet and an intensely imagined inner world.
Gala, Moondrive, Wanwa, Tojin Kit and Dimension Bomb each establish their own setting and expressive approach. The journeys range from a search directed by a map to movement through a child’s dream or a character’s interior world. Tojin Kit’s creature within a puppet gives the collection another way to question where an apparently ordinary thing becomes alive.
The shorts have separate musical collaborators as well as separate visual worlds. Moondrive credits Warsaw Village Band, while Dimension Bomb credits Juno Reactor. Wanwa distinguishes music production by Shinichiro Watanabe from music by Minami Nozaki.
