An alternate world with an alternate history.

The entire planet was divided between two opposing alliances.
After fifty years of bitter warfare,
the Greater Eastern Federation triumphs over
the forces of Europa and gains dominion over the Eurasian continent.

However, this is an empty victory...

"Why must we keep fighting?"

Set in a uniquely retro-futuristic world,
"CASSHERN" addresses this theme in a powerful drama that is
at once entertaining and profound.

The author behind this extraordinary project is Kazuaki Kiriya,
an acclaimed fashion photographer and music video director.
In addition to co-writing and directing the film, he also served as its cinematographer.

He recruited some of Japan's finest creative talents to help him,
including CG Supervisor - Haruhiko Shono(GADGET),
Visual FX Supervisor - Toshiyuki Kimura (Dragonhead, Ring),
Action Scene Story Board - Shinji Higuchi (Gamela, Evangelion),
Production Designer - Yuji Hayashida (Ritual, Azumi),
Costume - Michiko Kitamura (Ichi the Killer)
