Japanese Film Festival: The Art of Anime9 Oct 2022 to 5 Nov 2022

The Projector pays tribute to the mastery of Japanese animation through two cult classics and a documentary on the great Hayao Miyazaki and the work that goes behind a Ghibli Studio film.

Akira and Ghost In The Shell are undoubtedly two of the most influential anime of all time, and their imagery and themes permeate global pop-culture, from The Matrix to Stranger Things, to the work of Kanye West or Cyberpunk 2077.

These stunning hand-drawn features were an early showcase of the massive potential of the medium and served as a turning point in the Japanese animation industry and a gateway to trigger the anime and manga fever in the West.

Firmly planted in the adult animation genre, their themes of social liberties, overreaching governments, nuclear perils, existentialism and AI ethics make these films feel as current as ever.

Do not miss this rare chance to watch these classics remastered for the big screen! Trust us, anime is good for your health. Or is it… bad for education…?
