OVERVIEW
After five years of operation, CON-CAN (the smallest independent Japanese short festival) has grown little by little with the support of passionate and ambitious directors and film professionals around the globe. We see short film as cross-cultural interface and we try to spread the awareness of media literacy within our society through hybrid festival activities.
