009 RE:CYBORG

Once there were nine cybernetic heroes who had long fought for justice. But as their struggle finally restored peace, they eventually disappeared from the pages of history and from people’s memory. 2013: skyscrapers across the world are hit by suicide bombers with no apparent connection. The nine heroes gather once again after three decades to fight against this faceless menace. They appear untouched by time, but society around them has changed dramatically, as it has the very idea of “justice” they used to believe in... What is their role in the world now? And what is lying behind the rash of skyscraper bombings that is terrorizing all nations across the Earth? The vital clue: the skeleton of an impossible-seeming creature. As cities are consumed in the apocalypse, could it really be an Act of God?

International attention arrived with the TV series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (2002, Excellence Prize winner, Japan Media Arts Festival 2002) and its second season, Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig (2004), followed by the feature-length Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society (2006, Jury Prize, 21st Digital Content Grand Prix). In 2007, after almost 6 years spent in the world of Ghost in the Shell, Kamiyama directed the high-fantasy TV series Guardian of the Spirit (Jury Recommended Work, 11th Japan Media Arts Festival) followed in 2009 by Eden of the East (2009, Best TV Animation, 14th Animation Kobe), Kamiyama’s highly anticipated fully original TV series. 2011 has seen the theatrical release of the 3D version of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society, greeted with the International 3D Award at the 1st International 3D Awards 2011. 009 Re:Cyborg, premiering in Japan on October 27, 2012 was a technically ambitious feature film that explored the potentials of CGI animation and stereoscopic 3D.
