Our friends at GKIDS are bringing back the 2012 Mamoru Hosoda (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Mirai) film Wolf Children, now restored in glorious 4K!
A luminous coming-of-age fable with a quietly devastating emotional core, Wolf Children is a triumph of animated storytelling. This bittersweet fantasy follows a young mother raising her half-wolf children in the wake of loss—balancing the wonder of childhood with the ache of letting go. Gently surreal and deeply human, it’s a film about love, resilience, and the wild, unknowable paths we all must take to become ourselves.
This screening will be presented in its original Japanese language with English subtitles.
