Osaka Program

In order for you to better enjoy the world of short films, we have put together special events that can only be seen here in Osaka. The Osaka special programs include EAT FILM, collaboration menus and a talk show. You can also freely choose whatever short films pique your interest for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy your journey with short films, in your own style, together with us!

Originally starting in Taiwan as the "One Day On Earth Project" in 2011, the "Future Film Day/Future Film Festival" was held in similar fashion in 2012. Thanks to the generous support received to date, this new festival represents the eighth hosting of the event. As a point of difference from the general film festival held in Taiwan, the "Future Film Festival" has active associations with large art and literature organizations overseas. With the aim of developing film culture in each area of Taiwan, we can use the flexibility of small-scale film festivals to host events even in experimental locations while touring multiple cities. The Taiwan Future Film Exhibition Association was established in order to support young Taiwanese directors from 2014, and with its current goal of becoming the world's largest film organization, it has already achieved collaborations with 42 film festivals over the past year and a half.

Tekken works and people that have received topic awards that have contributed to the development and dissemination of the Japanese short film culture are available for viewing on the event space on the fourth and fifth floors of the North Wing, as well as on the fifth floor of the HDC Ōsaka C terrace!

【What is a Tekken Flip-book Animation?】
These are books that receive very favorable ratings both here and abroad. With their "simple story development" and "a touch of the handmade", they are said to be "Flip-book animations that make you want to cry". Thanks to their use in music videos by well-known international musicians, website views of these films have exceeded 3 million at their height. Recent times have seen the use of Tekken in many commercials and dramas which have caused reinvigorated attention being focused towards the high level of quality in these works. By including major "Full episode works" and "Original frame" works that elaborate on the delicate manufacturing process used in "Flip-book animation", the "screening corner of animation works" and the "Flip-book production corner" displays provide a rich insight into the world of Tekken flip-book animation.
