Jinsei

Filmmaker Ryuya Suzuki is scheduled to be in attendance. 

Written, directed, animated, edited, and scored entirely by 30-year-old Ryuya Suzuki, Jinsei is a singular, one-man cinematic feat. This wildly imaginative animated odyssey follows a nameless boy from childhood tragedy to unexpected pop stardom, hurtling through decades of personal upheaval and cultural satire.

Voiced by rapper Ace Cool, the emotionally opaque protagonist becomes a vessel for a story that veers from dark comedy to existential spectacle with breathtaking speed.

Minimalist in style but epic in scope, Jinsei is daring, unpredictable, and fiercely original—a thrilling outsider vision that announces a bold new voice in Japanese animation.
