Nov 17: Animezing!: Castle in the Sky

Join us for a FREE classic anime film at the JICC!

2017 marks the 100-year anniversary of Japanese animation. In celebration, the JICC is presenting a retrospective of landmark animated films! The first film produced by the legendary Studio Ghibli and directed by Hayao Miyazaki!  A young girl with a mysterious crystal pendant falls out of the sky and into the arms and life of young Pazu. Together they search for a floating island in the sky, site of a long-dead civilization promising enormous wealth and power to those who can unlock its secrets. Castle in the Sky is an early masterpiece of storytelling and filmmaking whose imaginative and ornately detailed vision presaged later films like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.
