Don't miss Tokyo Godfathers, a holiday classic from the acclaimed director Satoshi Kon, screening on a 35mm print in its original Japanese language version (with English subtitles)!

Tokyo Godfathers sees three homeless people discover an abandoned baby girl on Christmas Eve in modern day Tokyo. As they try to solve the mystery of the lost child and the fate of her parents, they also confront their own pasts and face their futures, together. Cowritten by Keiko Nobumoto (Cowboy Bebop), Tokyo Godfathers is a masterpiece of Japanese animation. We're also excited to host a screening of the film in new English language dub that is breakthrough in trans representation in animation. (92 mins., 35mm)
