Manga mania a la Daft Punk

There won’t be any half-human half-dog creatures, but Daft Punk are at it again and this time they’ve created a video clip of astronomical proportions.

Teaming up with renowned Manga director Leiji Matsumoto (Battle of the Planets) the French producers present ‘Interstella 5555: The Story of The Secret Star System’ - a feature-length animated musical set to the entire length of their ‘Discovery’ album. If the soundtrack is anything to go by the film is sure to be full of wacky surprises.

The film will be screened as part of the Dublin Electronic Arts Festival and takes place at Meeting House Square on October 21 at 7.30pm.

And for those Corkonians who won't be able to make the Dublin screening, Interstella 5555 will be shown October 16 as part of the Cork Film Festival. The screening is however scheduled for the Savoy Theatre, which as hotpress.com reported yesterday, has recently lost its licence.
