Kenji Kamiyama highly anticipated feature film, 009 Re:Cyborg is part of the official selection at the 17th Fantasia Film Festival (Fantasia 2013), to be held in Montreal, Canada, from July 18 to August 6, 2013. The screening at Fantasia marks the movie's North American Premiere.

Fantasia Film Festival describes 009 Re:Cyborg as follows:
"Kenji Kamiyama continues a tradition of injecting resonant realism, moral maturity and high-tech precision into previously fanciful works that began with Mamoru Oshii's legendary Ghost in the Shell film. Production I.G's patented style of dynamic animation truly shines here, and Kanji Kawai's stirring score matched the depth, scope and dramatic intensity of the tale. Anime fans craving a measure of intellectual and technical heft in their Japanese entertainment, this is your must-see this summer!"

Fantasia Film Festival is North America's premiere and largest genre film festival, taking place in the city of Montreal, and was the first member of the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation outside of Europe. It has been described by Quentin Tarantino as "The most important and prestigious genre film festival on this continent."

Screening schedule:

Date: August 4, 2013 (Sun)
