Kotatsu Japanese Animation Festival Christmas Screening: Tokyo Godfathers

Join us for a seasonal screening of Satoshi Kon’s Tokyo Godfathers.

 

Saturday 21st December 18:00 Tokyo Godfathers

Monday 23rd December 13:50 Tokyo Godfathers
(Monday is a screening only.)

Middle-aged alcoholic Gin, teenage runaway Miyuki, and former drag queen Hana are a trio of homeless people surviving as a makeshift family on the streets of Tokyo. While rummaging in the trash for food on Christmas Eve, they stumble upon an abandoned newborn baby in a trash bin. With only a handful of clues to the baby’s identity, the three misfits search the streets of Tokyo for help in returning the baby to its parents. Often named one of the greatest anime films of all time, this is a sweet tale of togetherness on the streets.
