Fantasia, North America's largest and longest-lived genre film festival, returns in 2023 with an amazing selection of imaginative films from around the world, including a bounty of cinematic treasures for aficionados of anime and manga!
Best known for the world-renowned Dragonball, celebrated Japanese manga creator Akira Toriyama's many other works include the mini-epic Sand Land, a demon-infested, post-apocalyptic screwball romp published in 2000. It portrayed a mysterious desert world where water is the most precious resource, and follows Satan's son Beelzebub and his comrades on a desperate, dangerous quest. Toriyama's countless fans can rejoice because now, a quarter century later, an anime adaptation has further rekindled Sand Land's appeal. Fantasia's crowd can take particular pleasure in this news, because the director is the talented Toshihisa Yokoshima, a deft master of CG animation whose short film Cocolors won a Satoshi Kon Award at the festival in 2017. Canadian Premiere
