Overview

Kukunochi is a sophisticated and cross collaborative short film involving students from Animation, Film, Design and Audio courses at SAE.

The Kukunochi film is the final capstone project for many of the students completing bachelor degrees at SAE Perth.

Synopsis: The story presents an arrogant girl, Katsumi, who learns a thing or two from Yamato, who embodies kindness and humility. Their unbalanced relationship is encapsulated through their sparring as they practice Kendo. Katsumi’s arrogance beats down on Yamato again and again. However, even when beaten repeatedly, Yamato’s determination never fazes.

They emotionally evolve after having experienced a confrontation with an angered spirit called the Kukunochi, where Katsumi learns the true meaning of humility.
