The Great Adventure of Horus Prince of the Sun (1968)
Melkweg, Saturday, May 16 at 07:00 PM GMT+2
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
The Great Adventure of Horus Prince of the Sun is a wonderfully energetic adventure story that marked the first collaboration between director Isao Takahata and his protégé Hayao Miyazaki – later founders of Studio Ghibli. With its mythological source material (an epic of the indigenous Ainu) and socialist message (well received by 1968’s students), Horus became known as the first ‘grown-up’ anime.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)
Melkweg, Friday, June 12 at 07:00 PM GMT+2
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
What if we could freely travel in time? How would we use that power: to solve world problems or for our own benefit? Mamoru Hosoda’s first feature film based on an original subject asks these questions when 17-year-old Makoto discovers that she can jump through time. Combining adolescent love-story and philosophical scifi, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, embodies Spiderman’s famous adage that with great power comes great responsibility. Satoko Okudera’s screenplay is loosely based on the popular 1967 novel with the same name, which was adapted for the screen several times but never as an anime before. A unique chance to see this early film by the director of Wolf Children, Mirai and Belle on the big screen.

The Boy and the Beast (2015)
Melkweg, Friday, June 12 at 09:15 PM GMT+2
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
The Boy and the Beast is a successful coming-of-age story by anime giant Mamoru Hosoda that follows nine-year-old runaway Ren and gruff beast Kumatetsu fighting, arguing, and slowly discovering the true meanings of strength, anger, and loneliness. After which, Ren will have to choose between romance in modern-day Tokyo and a beast kingdom rather resembling feudal Japan.

Memories (1995)
Melkweg, Saturday, September 19 at 09:15 PM GMT+2
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
Memories is an anthology film with three stories by Katsuhiro Ōtomo (Akira, Steamboy), who himself directs final short Cannon Fodder (about a world built around cannons), after Tensai Okamura’s comedic Stink Bomb (about someone unknowingly becoming a chemical weapon) and Kōji Morimoto’s highlight Magnetic Rose, combining space adventure with creepy psychological horror – and opera.

Children Who Chase Lost Voices (2011)
Melkweg, Saturday, October 17 at 07:00 PM GMT+2
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
The most Miyazakian film by Makoto ‘the new Miyazaki’ Shinkai (Your Name., 2016) is slightly less romantic than usual, instead focussing more on learning to cope with death and solitude. We enter a gorgeous, multicultural underworld, to which our young female protagonist Asuna and her kawaii cat Mimi are irresistibly drawn.

All You Need Is Kill (2025)
Melkweg, Saturday, November 14 at 07:00 PM GMT+1
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
First came Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s ‘light novel’ in 2004. Ten years later, we saw adaptations as manga, American graphic novel, and the Hollywood blockbuster Edge of Tomorrow. And now, an anime directed by Kenichiro Akimoto. Each time, the story starts over, but slightly different. Which, funnily enough, is exactly the premise of All You Need Is Kill. In its Groundhog Day (1993) meets video game concept, each time you die, your day starts over, you just know a little bit more about what’s coming (something about an alien invader and the total annihilation of Earth).
The two most significant changes made by Akimoto and his team are that the main characters aren’t military anymore, but civilian, and that the lead role has shifted from Keiji to Rita. With as an additional story layer the fact that Rita – although the word isn’t explicitly mentioned – is depressed. Which neatly fits the pattern of each day feeling the same, and having no interest at all in tomorrow.
Which effectively turns All You Need Is Kill – with all its clearly choreographed fight scenes and the angular, sketchy design for which Studio 4°C is known – into a series of therapy sessions (after all, therapy also requires endless repetition for even minor progress): unless Rita wants to keep dying for the rest of her life (‘Live. Die. Repeat’ was Edge of Tomorrow’s concise slogan), she has no choice but to take an interest in every single detail of today in an attempt to finally make it to tomorrow.

3x3 Eyes (1991)
Melkweg, Saturday, December 12 at 07:00 PM GMT+1
Together with Kaboom Animation Festival we bring the best anime to the big screen!
Relationship drama? Demonic massacre? Romcom? Supernatural adventure story? It’s the nineties, so: it’s all of the above! Toei Animation’s adaptation of Yuzo Takada’s manga series has something for everyone: from budding teen romance to bloody dismemberment – luckily, our Yakumo is immortal. Now, he only has to help that kawaii three-eyed demon become human. Directed by Daisuke Nishio (episodes one, three and four), known for his work on Dragon Ball Z (1986-1992), and Kazuhisa Takenouchi (episode two), who would later direct the Daft Punk project Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (2001).

My thoughts are with Amsterdam, and NL... and New Amsterdam too.
I've recently revisited Amsterdam, where I took this panoramic image in the center city / Leidseplein. Tonight on TV I saw some familiar places, in the aftermath of unfortunate violence, in this beloved city long known for diversity and tolerance.
And the U.S. And the world. :-(
Wishing a peaceful, calm or as-you-like-it weekend. This week is ended!

Het standbeeld voor Peter R de Vries op het Leidseplein. Op de armen staat een tekst van hem, in zijn afscheidsbrief vastgelegd voor zijn kinderen:
‘Blijf wie je bent... houd als het nodig is je rug recht, kom op voor zwakkeren en minderheden, zeg eerlijk wat je vindt en luister naar je rechtvaardigheidsgevoel.’
Deze tekst staat in 40 talen. Voor alle migranten. De kunstenaar ontwierp de twee armen zodanig dat onduidelijk is welke hand de andere beschermt. #art #amsterdam #Pieta #leidseplein -

Het Openbaar Ministerie heeft niet kunnen achterhalen wat het exacte motief was van de man uit Amsterdam die vorig jaar februari een gijzeling pleegde in de Apple Store in Amsterdam. Dat laat het OM weten, bijna een jaar na de gebeurtenis. Het onderzoek is inmiddels afgerond.
