About the two works presented at NFT.NYC

"GHOST IN THE SHELL" is a 1995 animated film directed by Mamoru Oshii based on the science fiction comic "GHOST IN THE SHELL" by Masamune Shirow.

"Ghost in the Shell"), an unauthorized, extra-legal task force formed to combat computer crimes and cyber-terrorism in the highly developed network society of 2029 AD. The film has since inspired many writers, filmmakers, and generations of science fiction filmmakers. Its enduring legacy has been adapted to film many times since and continues to spawn new works.
