ANA Eiga series is flying over to Boston with HAPPY FLIGHT! The film is
one of the most popular films in our series!

Director Shinobu Yaguchi brought feelings of laughter, tears, and
exhilaration to audiences with his films about boys’ synchronized swimming
(Waterboys) and girls’ high school big band jazz (Swing Girls). The theme
of his latest film, HAPPY FLIGHT, is “airplanes” - of all things.

Yaguchi’s intent was to create a realistic, completely new film that
oversees all corners of the aviation industry. Having ANA (All Nippon
Airways) lend their Boeing 747 for filming and 500 staff members’
involvement, he created a wonderfully entertaining film chock-full of
Yaguchi’s love and fascination of airplanes. The setting of the film takes
place at an airport and on an airplane. A great variety of aviation
professionals such as pilots, flight attendants, the ground crew,
mechanics, dispatchers, controllers, and the bird patrol crew all support
a single flight. They have only one mission: to secure the safety of the
passengers. Today was supposed to be any other day on the job, departing
on schedule and heading safely to Honolulu, but…Just like riding on a
jumbo jet, please experience this movie as tremendously fun and exciting.

Casts include Seiichi Tanabe (Memories of Tomorrow, Honey and Clover) and
Haruka Ayase (Cyborg She, The Magic Hour). The film was produced by
Altamira Pictures (Shall we dance ?).
