The Boy and the Beast バケモノの子7pm (2 hours)
Mirai 未来のミライ5:15pm (1.5 hours)
Join us on May 12 for a night of anime featuring two films by Japanese director Mamoru Hosoda: The Boy and the Beast (Japanese: バケモノの子) and Mirai of the Future (Japanese: 未来のミライ).
In both films, Hosoda stretches the boundaries of style and tells heartwarming stories about family, change and acceptance. The Boy and the Beast is an uplifting story about a young boy’s journey into adulthood, learning about family, relationships and responsibilities. Mirai of the Future dives into the innermost thoughts of a toddler, depicting his feeling of displacement and, later, acceptance toward the arrival of his baby sister.
Mamoru Hosoda is an award-winning filmmaker and animator. His latest film, Belle, was nominated for Best Animated Feature for the 2019 Oscars.
Enjoy each film at $10 or both at $15. The evening will start at 5:15pm screening first Mirai of the Future and at 7p.m. The Boy and the Beast. Both films will be in Japanese with English subtitles.
