A retrospective program dedicated to a single director. This year, ANIAFF presents Osamu Dezaki, a revolutionary figure in Japanese hand-drawn animation. Through 10 works, including "Aim For The Best!" and "The Champion 2: The Movie", the program traces his remarkable career and lasting legacy.
Throughout his career, Kenji Kamiyama has explored forward-looking themes across a diverse body of work. Through screenings and talks, this all-night program takes a closer look at his creative world through the lens of animation, the future, and technology.
As the use of AI in animation production continues to spark debate, this program turns its attention to how AI has long been portrayed in animated stories. Through the question “How has animation depicted AI?”, it explores the evolving relationship between animation and artificial intelligence.
Leading creators, producers, and industry professionals from Japan and around the world come together for talks and presentations found nowhere else, offering fresh perspectives and new ways to discover and enjoy animation.
