Mamoru Hosoda Interview - Animation is Film Festival 2021

For the first time, outside Japan, #MamoruHosoda’s newest film #BELLE had a chance to capture western audiences’ hearts during the Animation is Film Festival 2021 in Hollywood!

Hosoda's works are heartfelt, beautifully animated films and convey a sympathetic aesthetic element, often relatable. In 2019, his adventure fantasy comedy film, #MIRAI, was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. His most recent film, BELLE, premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, receiving a 14-minute standing ovation.

We had the opportunity to briefly speak with Hosoda during the Animation is Film Festival 2021 regarding his newest work and his thoughts on MIRAI’s Oscar nomination.

I will be honest, I stopped keeping track of this man's career several years ago. Not because I think his work is lesser, but because I know he is successful and therefore his movies will be easy to find at a later day. So, it took me a few seconds to remember who Hosoda even is. It would be pretty funny (not) if Google AI deletes this comment, as it seems to think I am a dangerous person (or a bot).
