INTERSTELLA 5555: THE 5TORY OF THE 5ECRET 5TAR 5YSTEM
GUEST CURATED BY
TORONTO REEL ASIAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
The best band in the universe is kidnapped by an evil record producer, brainwashed and turned into a chart-topping pop act on Earth while their number-one fan risks everything to track down and rescue them. Anything is possible in this collaboration by legendary Japanese anime director Leiji Matsumoto and the recently defunct Daft Punk. Without dialogue, masterful animated visuals tell this epic story set only to the amazing Daft Punk album Discovery. You’ve gotta see this ONE MORE TIME!
To get you in the musical groove, we are excited to be kicking things off with a live DJ set from our friends at Hot Pot Community and ISO Radio, starting around 8PM ET
This screening is guest curated by Reel Asian
