A surreal love story from the artisan behind the influential “MIND GAME” and Annecy winner “Lu over the Wall”, “Night is Short, Walk On Girl” is a provoking Picasso painting on the timelessness of youth and a triumphant testimony to the creative vibrancy and endless liberation to imagination that animation can provide.

Gracefully yet violently, The Girl with Black Hair (Kana Hanazawa) swirls through the abstract Kyoto night a joyful tempest. Blowing through pub crawls, festivals and book fairs, her youthful glee infects parties of increasingly eccentric characters, but amongst the debtors, existentialists and the God of the Old Book Market, can she be convinced “coincidental” encounters are fate and will she notice the Senpai (Gen Hoshino) in pursuit of her love?

Whether the hands on your clock move fast or slow, Night is Short, Walk On Girl.
