Phoenix is one of the most distinguished and extensively expanded works by the legendary mangaka and father of anime, Osamu Tezuka, alongside his notable creations like Astro Boy and Princess Knight. Created in the 1950s, it is notable for its complex subjects as well as its vast breadth. Rather than telling a single plot, Phoenix tells a series of self-contained stories set throughout history, from the Stone Age to the far future.
The title ‘Phoenix,’ the mythological firebird supposed to provide perpetual life, connects all of the stories. While the stories vary in genre and tone, they all address similar themes such as immortality, rebirth, reincarnation, and what it means to be human.

Founded in 1986 Studio 4°C is perhaps one of the most innovative animations studio in Japan. While at times overshadowed by the success of Studio Ghibli, the studio founded by Eiko Tanaka has made quiet a name for itself thanks to productions like “Mind Game” (2004) and “Mutafukaz” (2017) along with its work on music videos and video games. In 2007 the studio released a collection of short animated features titled “Genius Party”, directed by their best directors such as Atsuko Fukushima, Shoji Kawamori and Shinji Kimura. The seventh segment of the collection is director Masaaki Yuasa’s “Happy Machine”, a unique vision of how the world we perceive is not what it seems if we take a closer look at it.
“Genius Party: Happy Machine” is screening at We Are One: A Global Film Festival
The story of the short feature revolves around an infant in his nursery observing the world around him.

In crafting Mfkz, his first feature film, Guillaume ‘Run’ Renard adapted his first comic book for the screen, realizing how challenging feature directing is, and how difficult it can be to translate the essence of a work from one medium to another. Violent, timely and delightfully dark, the adult-oriented animated film follows Angelino, one of an endless number of deadbeats living in the dystopian Dark Meat City. Following a scooter accident, the character’s life is transformed into a nightmare, making him question whether an alien invasion is happening, or he is simply losing his mind.
Co-directing the film with Shôjirô Nishimi, Renard looked to condense a 600-page story arc into a streamlined cinematic experience, that would nonetheless retain the essence of his original vision. “The difference between comics and a movie is that in comics, the reader has control over his reading pace. So as an author, it is...

The Tekkonkinkreet dream team of Shoujirou Nishimi and art director Shinji Kimura reunite to bring to life a dark but stunningly animated sci-fi vision that mixes anime, film noir, Lucha Libre, and gang culture in an orgy of first-person shooter mayhem.
I honestly thought I had seen the best this year had to offer by way of animated movies after having seen Teen Titans Go: To The Movies… that was of course till I received a trailer for the Mfkz. Now I have been known to get a little bit excited...
