To Shoot Without Shooting
Animation Drama Feudal Japan Stop Motion Puppets Half-length Film

Puppet animation film structured along a folk tale inspired narrative about a young Chinese archer's trials to reach the pinnacle of his field. After learning to shoot a marked willow leaf from a tree at 100 paces in the blink of an eye, he is dispatched on to his next mentor, whose methods to teach him to lay down his bow and "shoot without shooting" seem a little less orthodox.
