The Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal is more than halfway through its 27th edition, which is running from July 20th through August 9th – and over the weekend they unveiled their list of Fantasia Film Festival Awards winners, with major honors going to the likes of Red Rooms and Stay Online.
Our own reviewer Tyler Nichols gave Red Rooms a 9/10 “amazing” review (you can read it Here), so it makes sense to hear that the film racked up multiple awards, including Best Feature, Best Screenplay for Pascal Plante, Best Score for Dominique Plante, and Outstanding Performance for Juliette Gariépy. We haven’t had the chance to see Stay Online yet, but that movie did earn the Best First Feature award for director Yeva Strelnikova.

Fantasia, North America's largest and longest-lived genre film festival, returns in 2023 with an amazing selection of imaginative films from around the world, including a bounty of cinematic treasures for aficionados of anime and manga!
Best known for the world-renowned Dragonball, celebrated Japanese manga creator Akira Toriyama's many other works include the mini-epic Sand Land, a demon-infested, post-apocalyptic screwball romp published in 2000. It portrayed a mysterious desert world where water is the most precious resource, and follows Satan's son Beelzebub and his comrades on a desperate, dangerous quest. Toriyama's countless fans can rejoice because now, a quarter century later, an anime adaptation has further rekindled Sand Land's appeal. Fantasia's crowd can take particular pleasure in this news, because the director is the talented Toshihisa Yokoshima, a deft master of CG animation whose short film Cocolors won a Satoshi Kon Award at the festival in 2017. Canadian Premiere

Toshihisa Yokoshima is an animator, known for his works in video games such as Rockman X8. His current animation production company, Kamikaze Douga has initiated “The Gasoline Mask”, project with “Cocolors” being their first completed work.
On the occasion of his film premiering internationally in Fantasia International Film Festival, we speak with him about the project, their unique technique, the film, anime and many other topics.
Tell us a bit about the Gasoline Mask project. How did it came to be, and what are your plans for the future?
The first original project of the production studio “Kamikaze Douga” is called “Gasoline mask”, which is a prototype of “Cocolors”. There was only one prerequisite, the “people wearing a mask” concept. I dared produce a work like this even though I knew that in the commercial Japanese works, the concept would not pass. We were able to choose this concept because it is an independent production.

After a number of Asian animation reviews, the time to deal with Japanese anime time was due, although “Cocolors” is not exactly the average production of the category, as Shibuya-based animators Kamikaze Douga use a signature skill of animation, that we will discuss further ahead in the article. The film is the second entry in the “Gasoline Mask” project, after the homonymous, first part.
“Cocolors” screened at Fantasia International Film Festival
The story takes place in a world where the eruption of Mt Fuji has filled with a dark ash, which can burn human flesh and is even deadly to breath. Humanity, in order to survive, has retreated deep underground, where everyone is wearing astronaut-like suits and masks, in order to survive the ash. In this awful setting, Aki, a not so brave boy, tries to protect his sickly, mute friend Fuyu, as he joins a team that is to...
