ASIFA-Hollywood and Triumph Films present
STEAMBOY
with Director KATSUHIRO OTOMO in person!
The latest film from the director of AKIRA is one part masterful traditional animation, two parts state of the art anime, a dose of steam-punk -- and 100% pure Otomo.
A retro science-fiction epic set in Victorian England, Steamboy features the invention of a new form of energy, capable of powering an entire nation. A young boy must use it to fight evil, redeem his family, and save London from destruction. With more than 180,000 drawings and 400 CG cuts, Steamboy is sure to be one of the most elaborate animated features of 2005.
A Q&A with Mr. Otomo follows the screening.
