The short anime film is directed by Naoko Yamada (K-ON!, A Silent Voice) at Science SARU with Eunyoung Choi producing. Japanese singer/songwriter Lovely Summer Chan created the music for the film alongside Yamada. The 17-minute-long anime work is set to be released in Japan in 2023, Annecy describes Garden of Remembrance as such:
The anemone flower that “I” liked. A precious flower that holds memories which tie “You” and “I” together. A story that represents “Me”, “You”, our “Childhood Friend” and our goodbyes.
This year’s Annecy International Animated Film Festival starts June 11 and like every year is held in France.
