    "Possessions" ("Tsukumo")
    A lone traveler is confronted by unusual spirits in an abandoned shrine in the 2013 Academy Award-nominated Possessions (Tsukumo), directed by Shuhei Morita (Coicent, Kakurenbo).

    "Combustible" ("Hi-no-youjin")
    Grandmaster Otomo himself assumes the directorial reigns for a spectacular tale of love, honor and firefighting in ancient Japan with the multi-award-winning Combustible (Hi-no-youjin).

    "Gambo"
    A mysterious white bear defends the royal family from the predations of a red demon in the brutal Gambo, directed by Hiroaki Ando (Five Numbers!) from Redline's Katsuhito Ishii's original story with character designs by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Neon Genesis Evangelion).

    "Buki yo Saraba" (A Farewell to Weapons)
    The focus shifts from supernatural to science fiction for the action packed A Farewell To Weapons (Buki yo Saraba), as Mobile Suit Gundam designer Hajime Katoki helms Otomo's tour-de-force saga of men battling robotic tanks in apocalyptic Tokyo.

    That is awesome news, I heard about these shorts menthes ago and since then the closest I've managed to find was this same trailer. So it has aired in select cinemas now and will be receiving a blu ray release some time, I look forward to seeing some links to this in the future as every part of Short Peace looks great.
