\nA vortex. Movement. Gathering. ANIAFF is a place where diverse animated works from Japan and around the world come together, offering encounters with new worlds and new works. I envisioned these encounters as a single vortex rising from the earth toward the sky. The deer and birds at its center, together with the rabbits dancing after them, embody the energy of everyone who gathers for the festival. Through the dynamic motion that emerges between one frame and the next\u2014the essence of animation\u2014I sought to reflect the spirit of the festival in its visual identity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
