DRAGONFLY IS HEADING TO COLUMBUS, OHIO

Having had its start back in 1952, the COLUMBUS INTERNATIONAL FILM & ANIMATION FESTIVAL is the country’s “longest running film festival.” Today, it is Central Ohio’s “premier event … for animation, social issues documentaries, and independent feature films.”
▫️
Among the movies screening at its 72nd annual festivities — which will be offer presentations both in-person and online from April 20 to May 20 — you’ll find DRAGONFLY, an animated short written and directed by Julia Morizawa.
▫️
Inspired by the lives of Julia’s maternal grandparents, and the stories her mom shared about growing up on the family farm in Japan, this unique work examines the devastating impact of the Tokyo Firebombing of March 9-10, 1945, and addresses “the generational trauma of war, the power of family, and finding the strength to rise from the ashes.”
