About This Movie

Xi AVANT is this intriguing short anime that plays as a companion piece to the 3D version of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society. Set in a near-future Spain, it offers a unique blend of cyberpunk aesthetics with a distinctly European flavor. The animation has this fluid, almost ethereal quality that enhances its themes of technology and human connection. It’s not your typical fast-paced short; the pacing allows for a contemplative experience, inviting viewers to reflect on the implications of next-gen mobile technology, especially as it's tied to NTT Docomo's Xi service. The atmosphere is immersive, and while the director isn’t credited, the creativity shines through in this abstract yet poignant tale. This piece stands out for its visual storytelling and thematic depth.
