  • Wolf Children
    PRESENTS WOLF CHILDREN A MAMORU HOSODA FILM Running time: 117 minutes Certificate: TBC Opens at UK cinemas on 25th October Press Contacts Elle McAtamney – [email protected] For hi-res images/production notes and more, go to – www.fetch.fm To the children, a movie like a delightful, fun fairy tale… To the youth, to make raising children, which they have yet to experience, seem full of surprises and wonder… And to the parents, to let them reminisce about their children’s growth… I am striving to make an invigorating movie that satisfies the principles of entertainment. Mamoru Hosoda Director, screenwriter, author of original story INTRODUCTION The long-awaited new film by Director Mamoru Hosoda! Yet another movie that enthralls people of all generations!! In “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” (2006), he depicted the radiance of youth in flashing moments of life. In “SUMMER WARS” (2009), he told a story about a miracle, of how the bond between people saved Earth’s crisis, and the film swept awards domestic and abroad. Mamoru Hosoda has become the most noted animation director in the world. Why do his works appeal to people of all generations? His stories are not about the extraordinary, and they are not about superheroes. Set in towns that could really exist, the main characters are surrounded by ordinary people and are troubled by slightly unique circumstances, which they struggle to overcome. Based on well-thought-out scenarios, these real-to-life stories are made into dynamic animation. That’s why the main characters seem so familiar to us and draw our sympathy, and we get excited watching how they fare.

  • Miss Hokusai
    PRESENTS Miss Hokusai Opens in UK cinemas on 5th February 2016 Directed by Keiichi Hara | Screenplay by Miho Maruo Running time: 90 minutes Press contact: Elle McAtamney – [email protected] OVERVIEW Katsushika Hokusai is probably one of the most internationally known Japanese artists. His woodblock print series entitled Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, and The Wave off Kanagawa in particular, are so iconic that can be seen reproduced on t-shirts and coffee mugs in gift shops all around the world. However, perhaps with the exception of a very restricted circle of scholars, very few are aware of the fact that Hokusai had a very talented daughter, named O-Ei, who assisted him until his death. It may therefore come as a surprise that many works commonly ascribed to master Hokusai are in fact very likely to be the result of a father-daughter collaboration, if not entirely done by O-Ei, and were signed by Hokusai simply because his name had greater appeal on the market. Contemporary accounts, mainly from pupils, seem to confirm that Hokusai excelled her father when it came to the portrayal of beautiful women (bijinga), a staple in Japanese art. This was fully recognized by Hokusai himself, and the two shared roles in the creative process. As of today, O-Ei remains one of the most fascinating mysteries in Japanese art, with less than a dozen of works commonly attributed to her, yet all featuring rare artistic talent and acute sensitivity. The unique and free-living character of O-Ei is at the centre of Miss Hokusai, the new animated feature film by Annecy-winning director Keiichi Hara.
