Monju Hunters of Sofugan Island (animated short scifi film: in full).
Here’s the animated short science fiction movie Monju Hunters of Sofugan Island, by by Dirk Wachsmuth & Karim Eich.
In the flick, we visit “Sofugan Island” in a lonely period, an island that was formerly famed for supplying the mainland with the precious flesh of giant mutant whales known as “Monjus.” It was overcrowded and uncontrolled for extended periods of time, and it was home to a crazy mix of the famed “Monju Hunters,” merchants, artisans, trash sellers, political dissidents, criminals, and adventurers.
Our protagonist, an elderly and veteran hunter who has lived here his whole life, tells us about his background. He allows us to join him through his day, giving us a sense of life in this extremophilic community.
