Anstitut Francese Tokyo, the venue for the screenings.



Before the screening, Mr. Kazuko Ishikawa, chairman of the Tokyo Anime Awards Festival 2017, gave a greeting.



'Long Way North (original title: Tout En Haut Du Monde)' is a joint production of France and Denmark, directed by Remy Scheier. On the stage of Russia of the 19th century, it is an adventure group that Sasha of a granddaughter starts a trip to the land of the extreme north in order to search for a grandfather and a ship on which the grandfather got aboard to reach the North Pole.



Director Takahata, who started talking while saying 'You are coming today and the information you know doesn't change so much,' said 'Long Way North,' 'I was comfortable looking at the piece called Long Way North. There is a lot of lying inside, which is the same as Japanese animation, but how to attach this lying feels good. 'The girl keeps trying to keep up with it, people around change accordingly, the situation changes At the end of the day, while achieving the goal, the goal is finally achieved.



On the other hand, recent Japanese animations have been declined, saying, 'I have not seen too much, but I have to give a discount because I talk too much.' Compared with the simplicity of being able to do, it is a bit complicated, and the creator is making it so that the viewer can immerse well, but it's somewhat critical that it might not be useful to see too many. He rated Michelle Oslo's “ Kirlik and the Witch ”, which he recommended, as “a very useful piece to live on,” and said, “How long has Japan sent such a piece?”



It seems that it is a problem for the director himself to make such works 'to whom they are made', and 'it's making something that looks interesting to you' It is not just that. In the first place, in Japan there is a strong tradition of telling stories using pictures and words, and Takahata pointed out that 'it was something that adults liked.'



He also directed “The Tomb of the Fireflies” directed by himself, “I made the conclusion that it is safe for children to see, but I was anxious that I could show them to my children”. He mentioned that the simultaneous screening was a “My Neighbor Totoro” that made me feel happy, “I felt a bit different when I looked in front of me.



By the way, although we won a feature film animation / Grand Prix at this Long Way North, Tokyo Animation Awards Festival 2016, there is no plan to be released to the public in Japan at the moment because it was not distributed. Takahata, who knew this fact, thought, 'Hmm, why?', And it was said that if a person from the distribution company came to the screening, he was persuading, but unfortunately the person from the distribution company did not fall on this day It seemed a little disappointing that 'I lost sight of my goals.'

The left end is Sasha of the main character.



Sasha's father (center) aims to be ambassador to Rome, and plans to marry Sasha with Prince Tomski (right).



However, Sasha was still thinking about her lost grandfather.




Grandfather Olkin who travels on a special arctic expedition boat named the Dubai.



Sasha sees her appearance uneasy.



Olkin was missing along with the Dabai issue, and his search activities were idle.



But Sasha believes that the Dabai has not sunk.




Father who coldly plunges Sasha who wants to search for the Dabai again by all means.



With memories of his grandfather in mind, Sasha decided to seek out the Dabai issue.



I will leave for the north.




A misty port town.



Sasha claims that 'the search activities of the previous Dubai were not found because they were in the wrong place.'




However, the crew laughs away such Sasha.



The owner of the dining room, Olga, advises the captain, Land, to hear Sasha's words.



And, the embarkation to severe polar north.





'I have to find the dubai to keep my family proud.'



The journey is very harsh, just by the search for the Dabai, which has been praised once.



There are also situations where the captain is in danger.

'I want to show you this scene, a pretty Sasha'



What kind of ending is the trip to the north of Sasha? The adventure troupe, drawn in 1 hour and 21 minutes, is a lonesome piece of work that would only be possible for these events. Certainly, the hit may be difficult if it is a work that is original, and not Japanese animation, when compared to 'the movie version of an animation based on popular manga and popular light novels'.



Lastly, the director of Koji Takeuchi announced the announcement and announcement of the Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2017. Recruitment of the next competition section starts in August. Works with over 60 minutes for short films and less than 30 minutes for short films, regardless of professional, amateur or student.
