My review of the poem adaptation Winter Days (Fuyu no hi, 2003) has been published at Midnight Eye. Unfortunately the official website, which was full of great images and biographies seems to have been taken down. I have a copy of the biographical information they had, so if I get the time (After Nippon Connection!!) I will try to translate some of the info about the more obscure animators for this blog.
Here is a list of the 35 artists featured in Winter Days, with relevant links:
