GKIDS announced this week that it is continuing its partnership with Fathom Events on the release of Pompo the Cinephile, with preview screenings of the Japanese-language version of the film taking place in cinemas nationwide on April 26, and the English-languaged dubbed version heading to theaters on April 28.
In addition to the full feature, audiences will have the opportunity to check out a special introduction from director Takayuki Hirao, exclusive to the Fathom Events screenings. Fan preview events will be followed by a limited theatrical release in select markets nationwide by GKIDS starting April 29th.
Hirao’s ode to filmmaking centers on Pompo, a talented and gutsy producer in the world’s movie-making capital, “Nyallywood.” Although she’s known for B-movies, Pompo one day tells her assistant Gene that he will direct her next script: a delicate drama about an aging and tormented creative genius. But when the production heads towards chaos, can Gene rise to Pompo’s challenge, and succeed as a first-time director?
Pompo the Cinephile hails from the new animation studio, Clap. The film was an official selection of the 2021 Fantasia Film Festival and was released in Japan in June, proving to be a hit domestically.
Tickets to the Pompo Fathom events will go on sale March 25th at FathomEvents.com, as well as at PompoMovie.com and participating theater box offices. Check out a teaser for the film below.
