Director David Pagaille and the animation team at Passion Paris conjure 12 full minutes of legend and fantasy for their short film adaptation of an in-game story from Genshin Impact, the adventure RPG published by miHoYo.

Chamseddine Kaddouri, creative producer at Passion Paris: “Moonlit Bamboo Forest is an immersive adventure, playing with ​the boundaries of imagination and reality produced with support from Je Suis Bien Content for HoYoFair, a collection of original creations inspired by the universe of Genshin Impact and other franchises from HoYoverse.

“The film was conceived as a cultural bridge, blending ​traditional Chinese art with David Pagaille’s unique vision, alongside ​influences from Japanese anime and Western illustration.” 

“Drawing from inspirations like Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke and ​Spirited Away, we aimed to offer a fresh visual take, merging classical ​techniques with modern animation.”
