Short Peace
No surprises here based on the limited theatrical engagement that was announced yesterday that listed Sentai Filmworks as involved in Short Peace. The company has now formally announced their acquisition of the film, which is curated by the Katsuhiro Otomo of Akira fame.
“Short Peace is an omnibus collection of four anime shorts, including the 86th Academy Award® nominated Best Animated Short Film Possessions, directed by Shuhei Morita (Coicent, Freedom). Short Peace is the first film release in over nine years from Otomo, whose long list of prestigious accolades includes a Purple Medal of Honor from the Japanese government, Career Achievement honors at the Annie Awards, and an induction into the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards Hall of Fame.”
Short Peace will have a nationwide theatrical release via Eleven Arts. It will also be available soon through select digital outlets and on bilingual Blu-ray & DVD.
