Nominated at this year’s Academy Awards for Best Animated Film! 🏆

“Charming, with an explosive color palette….The film feels at times like Terrence Malick meets Hiyao Miyazaki for tykes, combining playful subjectivity with surreal flights of fancy. But it also maintains a narrative throughline that’s simple enough for any kid to follow.”
– The Hollywood Reporter

Each screening is preceded by the new animated short ÉIRU from Cartoon Saloon, makers of THE SECRET OF KELLS and SONG OF THE SEA.

Note: We are showing BOTH the original French language version AND the marvelous English version.

The world is a perplexing, peaceful mystery to Amélie until a miraculous encounter with chocolate ignites her wild sense of curiosity. As she develops a deep attachment to her family’s housekeeper, Nishio-san, Amélie discovers the wonders of nature as well as the emotional truths hidden beneath the surface of her family’s idyllic life as foreigners in post-war Japan.

Adapted from the autobiographical novel by Amélie Nothomb and brought to life in the completely original animated style of directors Mailys Vallade and Liane- Cho Han, LITTLE AMÉLIE OR THE CHARACTER OF RAIN tells a tender, poignant and visually stunning story about the healing power of human connection.
