Summary :The film starts in a rather brutally realistic fashion, as the violent episodes that take place between Kurds and Turks, with the former essentially being the ones persecuted, setting the tone for the issues they have to face, both from local authorities, and the people who consider them all as terrorists. Detail : TOKYO KURDS(2021) was screened at Jeonju International Film festival as an International Competition, TIDF Asian Competiton, as well as theatrical screened nationwide. The film starts in a rather brutally realistic fashion, as the violent episodes that take place between Kurds and Turks, with the former essentially being the ones persecuted, setting the tone for the issues they have to face, both from local authorities, and the people who consider them all as terrorists. The narrative calms a bit after that, as we are introduced to the two protagonists, Ozan and Ramazan, both of which have been living in Japan since childhood, and can speak and write fluently in Japanese.Despite their common background, however, the paths the two have chosen are rather different. Ramazan wants to get into a college and study, and for this purpose, he is also learning English, while the rather handsome Ozan wants to be on television, but is also forced to work, illegally, in a demolition crew in order to support himself. Their wills may be different, but the obstacles they face are essentially identical. Colleges turn down Ramazan's application because he does not have a visa (which he could get if he managed to enter a college, in a truly Uroboros-like obstacle) while the talent agency Ozan applies for cannot hire him without permission from the immigration service to work in Japan, which, expectedly, is never granted. As such, the two of them become completely lost regarding their future, a concept that becomes painfully evident in a scene where they appear together in the film, discussing their lives.

Summary :Manga artist Daisuke Igarashi continues to enchant readers with his unique line work and artistic expressions. His first long-form work, Children of the Sea (published by Shogakukan IKKICOMIX) tells the story of a summer encounter between a 14-year-old girl and two brothers raised by dugongs. With a theme of respect for nature, this masterpiece transforms into pure entertainment through mysterious story development and the overwhelming power of art.

This latest work is from STUDIO4°C, known for producing films such as Tekkonkinkreet. The studio has received international praise for its cutting- edge visual expressions. What they created is an ocean adventure tale born from the interweaving of the Japanese animation world’s greatest treasures.The Japanese cast is full of renowned talent. Mana Ashida, an actress who appeared in Hollywood movies after first becoming known from the television drama Mother, plays the female protagonist. Hiiro Ishibashi, a voice actor who gained notoriety for his angelic voice as Miguel in the Japanese dub of Disney’s Coco, and Seishu Uragami, an actor who portrayed Sanada Yukimaru’s eldest son Daisuke in the NHK Taiga drama Sanadamaru, play the mysterious brothers. Win Morisaki, an actor whose talents were recognized by Steven Spielberg and cast as Toshiro in the movie Ready Player One, also is part of the film. Most of the main voice actors were close in age to the characters they portray in the film. Supporting them is a team of talented actors who each contribute their unique personalities, including Goro Inagaki, Yu Aoi, Tohru Watanabe, Min Tanaka, and Sumiko Fuji.World-famous Joe Hisaishi composed the film’s music, his first time working on a feature-length animation film since last composing music for Studio Ghibli’s The Wind Rises and The Tale of The Princess Kaguya. Additionally, musical artist Kenshi Yonezu was so smitten by the film that he was inspired to write his first-ever theatrical theme song, Spirits of the Sea. One could say that the "sounds" developed by this team, which add so much color to the dangerous, dense, and profound world of the story, serve as an alternative face to the film.
