-Projector Exclusive-

11-year-old Karin is abandoned by her father at her grandfather’s house, the monk of a small town in the Japanese countryside. Her grandfather asks Anzu, his jovial, helpful, although rather capricious, ghost-cat to look after her. The clash of their strong characters causes sparks, at least at the beginning.

Dates: Sat 7 Dec & Sun 15 Dec

Venue: The Projector at Cineleisure

Ticket price: $16

If you missed the sold-out screenings of Plan 75 when we first released the film in 2022, don’t miss your chance to catch it again, and support a good cause too! We bring back Plan 75 with two fundraiser screenings in partnership with local non-profit ArtsWok Collaborative. An original short film, Float Free, a touching short film on personal transformation and new beginnings will precede the main feature.

Set in a parallel dystopian Japan, a government programme, Plan 75, encourages senior citizens to be voluntarily euthanised to remedy a super-aged society. The film captures a chilling yet possibly real scenario for the future, but it also captures poignant moments of what being truly alive means, and the importance of community.
