Anime Limited are bringing yet another major Japanese feature animation to the big screen across the UK in the form of SHAFT studio's Fireworks.

The film is directed by Shunji Iwai, director of The Case of Hana & Alice (reviewed here by Andy Hanley) and complimented by such talents as Akiyuki Shinbō (Madoka) and Genki Kawamura (the incomparable Your Name). 

You can find more information, as well as screening times at http://fireworksmovie.co.uk/

Screenings start on the 15th November

Synopsis from Anime Ltd:

“Production studio Shaft (Madoka Magica, Monogatari) adapts and modernises Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom? – originally a TV special written by Shunji Iwai (The Case of Hana and Alice) – adding sci-fi elements to its tale of teenage life. School children Norimichi, Yuusuke, and Junichi want to know if fireworks look round or flat from the side. They make a plan to find the answer at a fireworks display, while classmate Nazuna schemes to run away with whoever wins a swimming race at the pool.”
