Tomorrow's Leaves

The Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage presents “Tomorrow’s Leaves”, an animated film inspired by the Olympic values. “Tomorrow’s Leaves” is a hand-drawn, animated short film that provides a fresh perspective on the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect. Produced by Yoshiaki Nishimura, known for his Academy Award-nominated films, “Tomorrow’s Leaves” will premiere at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, ahead of the cultural programme at Tokyo 2020. The Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage (OFCH) commissioned Japanese animation company Studio Ponoc for this special project, to celebrate the Olympic spirit, engage a broader international audience and reinforce the links between sport, culture and education that are fundamental to the Olympic Movement. Produced by Yoshiaki Nishimura, “Tomorrow’s Leaves” is directed by the equally renowned Yoshiyuki Momose, who played a central role in famed works such as “Grave of the Fireflies” and “The Tale of the Princess Kaguya”
