27th TIFF to Shine a Spotlight on Animation Films: "The World of Hideaki Anno"

Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) is pleased to announce that we will be featuring works by Hideaki Anno, one of Japan's most prominent filmmakers.
"The World of Hideaki Anno" will be the first-ever major screening occasion to showcase his works.

When he was in his early twenties, Anno impressed Hayao Miyazaki, who subsequently hired him as an animator on his film "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". Since then, Anno has created a string of hits, including "NADIA THE SECRET OF BLUE WATER" (1990), the first television series he directed, and the "EVANGELION series", which has become a global phenomenon.
