“Mamoru Hosoda has had a huge impact in the UK ever since The Girl Who Leapt Through Time – we’re very honoured to be hosting the first exhibition of this kind to showcase his work to date. There’s no better time to explore the works of this incredibly talented director, when Mirai has been welcomed as the Gala film for Family at the BFI London Film Festival.” said Andrew Partridge, President of Anime Limited.
Ingenious and heartfelt, Mamoru Hosoda’s charming fantasy was received with a standing ovation at its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Surely the truest definition of a family film, “Mirai” will inspire the imaginations of young and old alike.
The birth of a sibling is a joyous time for many, but not for Kun. Four years old and spoilt rotten, he sees the arrival of baby sister Mirai as competition for his parents’ love. That is, until magical encounters with an older Mirai and family past, present and future send the siblings on an intimate journey through time and space, to confront Kun’s uncertain feelings and prepare him to become the big brother he needs to be.
Mamoru Hosoda’s latest anime feature film Mirai will have its UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival Family Gala, with screenings on Saturday 13th October and Sunday 14th October. For more information, please visit the BFI’s website.
Following its UK premiere at the London Film Festival, Mirai will open on 100 screens across the UK & Ireland from November 2nd.
Subtitled screenings on 2nd November.
Dubbed screenings on 4th November.
