In a landscape of Japanese creation lacking new faces, Yoshitoshi Shinomiya stands out with the story of three friends determined to fire a final fireworks before the destruction of the family business.
The first film by Japanese filmmaker with unreal aesthetics explores the fight against concrete progress and the destruction of the childhood home of three young people.
While his first feature film, Une Aube Nouvelle, is released today in the dark cinemas of France under the impetus of DNA, director Yoshitoshi Shinomiya was present at the Annecy festival to present it as a preview to the festivalgoers. In a particularly difficult context for the original films, the artist entrusted AnimeLand with the production of this artistically delicious film co-produced by Miyu and Asmik.
In his first award-winning feature film at Annecy's animated film festival, in theatres Wednesday, August 12, 2026, Japanese director Yoshitoshi Shinomiya portrays with poetry the struggle of three friends trying to keep the family fireworks factory alive.
A training painter, Yoshitoshi Shinomiya goes on to feature animation with a very original work and not completely completed.
