This year’s Shinsedai Cinema Festival in Toronto is presenting an eclectic mix of animation by innovative young Japanese animators. From the psychedelic visual assault of Yoshihiro Haku + Sachiko Hiraoka to the delicate visions of Sayaka Oku, Beyond Anime: The Outer Limits will take the audience on an adventure past the well trodden paths of anime to the farthest reaches of Japan’s animation landscape. The programme was curated by Jasper Sharp of Midnight Eye and first presented at Zipangu Fest in London last fall. The screening is being co-presented by the Toronto Comic Arts Festival.
