As you may remember, a few weeks ago I made a post about the upcoming Voivod documentary "We Are Connected" which features interviews with various musicians who are fans of Voivod, including Tobias. Above you can see a short snippet.

Here's some news from Felipe, the director of the documentary: so far, the film has been officially submitted to five Canadian film festivals and one in Europe. The world premiere will take place at Fantasia International Film Festival in Canada this summer, though exact date is not known as of now. Digital / DVD release will follow after the festivals. Currently the film is still in post-production, but the work is moving fast. Stay tuned!

Non-Japanese/Non-Backers, rejoice- here's a chance to watch Mononoke Karakasa before 2025!

📣 The movie is making its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival hosted in Montreal from June 18th to August 4th! 📣

If I understand this correctly, theaters throughout Montreal will be screening the movie! Judging from the previous year's information, ticket prices are actually quite affordable - 12.50-13.50 CA$ which is just under $10 USD!

So...who's gonna book a flight to Canada in the coming weeks? :3c
