SPIRITED AWAY (2001, Studio Ghibli, 125 min.) Directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Iconic anime feature and a office smash in Japan and world-wide.

AKIRA (1988, FUNimation, 124 min.) Directed by Katsuhiro Ohtomo. In a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo swarming with violent motorcycle gangs and anti-government revolutionaries, Kaneda must stop lifelong friend Tetsuo, whose out-of-control psychic powers could destroy the city.

OCEAN WAVES (1993, GKIDS, 72 min.) Directed by Tomomi Mochizuki. Join us for a new 4K restoration of this subtle, poignant and wonderfully detailed story of adolescence and teenage isolation; one of the most distinctive animated films from Japan’s Studio Ghibli. Thursday, January 12 – 7:30 PM
