Another World, based on the Japanese book Senneki – Thousand-year Journey of an Oni by Saijo Naka, marks a remarkable directorial debut for Tommy Kai Chung Ng. He collaborated with young producers and illustrators from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, France and the Philippines to create a moving exploration of life and death, in stunning 2D and 3D. This adult animation doesn’t shy away from the darker stuff, but tackles heavy themes like cruelty and guilt in an accessible manner. A multi-layered emotional rollercoaster ride about forgiveness, hope and salvation.
