Yohei Takamatsu and Takashi Omori, who Hosoda had previously worked with on The Boy and The Beast, are also returning as art directors for the film.
The Directors’ Fortnight section will be held from May 9-19, while Cannes Film Festival will be held from May 8-19.
The French Directors’ Guild announced on Tuesday that the world premiere of Mamoru Hosoda’s new Mirai no Mirai (Mirai of the Future) anime film will screen at this year’s Directors’ Fortnight, an independent section held in parallel to the Cannes Film Festival.
The film will open in Japan on July 20, after previously being announced with a May release date.
