This work is based on Chapter One of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen.The original text depicts a disaster brought about tools and technology.There is a connection between this theme and nuclear power plant accident that occurred in Japan in 2011. I attempted to create a new form of animation film through an interleaving depiction of the original story and a real accident.

Fragments

I found a very interesting story in the book "Indian Mythology" by Katsuhiko Uemura. It is poetic and gaggy in some parts. Once upon a time, a mountain had wings and flew around. When the mountain landed on the earth, the earth shook with a roar...". This story was made up by Brahmins (monks) 4 to 5,000 years ago. It is said that those in power at that time ruled their people by making up interesting stories. Is it the same today?
