The “Bungaku Bideo” series is an innovative effort to bring literature and film together in a new way, and to introduce the work of phenomenal artists in both forms to new audiences worldwide.
The Yanai Initiative is thrilled to announce that The Graffiti received the Special Jury Award for Shory Film at the New Chitose Airport International Animation Festival 2025.
*Jury Statement*
The film beautifully explores the space between language and animation, revealing how quickly meaning can disappear. It hints that words only touch the surface of things, yet when they change, the whole world seems to change with them.
