Your Name.
Japan - East Coast Premiere; ages 10+
Presented by Funimation Films before the film's April 7 release!
The day the stars fell, two lives changed forever. Strangers Mitsuha and Taki live their teenage lives in separate cities until suddenly, for reasons unknown, they switch bodies. Beyond all of the physical awkwardness of their strange, new bodies, they must learn to navigate each other's social realms and habits as they continue to swap back and forth unexpectedly. Written, directed, and animated by anime master Makoto Shinkai (NYICFF 2008's 5 Centimeters Per Second).

My Life as a Zucchini
Switzerland/France- East Coast Premiere; ages 11+
2017 Oscar Nominee!

"Zucchini" may sound like a weird name, but after the accidental death of his mother, the nickname is all the nine-year-old has left of her. The kids at his New Group home seem to understand and, though hesitant at first, Zucchini soon finds himself part of their close-knit, makeshift family. With its beautifully expressive stop-motion style, My Life as a Zucchini tackles sometimes heavy subject matter with a light touch, conveying the children's perseverance through precarious circumstances through the matter-of-fact lens of childhood.

Revolting Rhymes

UK - North American Premiere; ages 6+
Based on a Roald Dahl classic!

Forget everything you thought you knew about Little Red Riding Hood. And Cinderella. And the Three Little Pigs... In "Revolting Rhymes," Roald Dahl reimagined six classic fairy tales with his characteristically sardonic wit. Now his twisted tales come to life in two wondrously animated featurettes, with slightly rougher edges: a greedy pig banker pilfering Red Riding Hood's hard-earned savings, a Cinderella less than thrilled with her post-ball prospects, and a Snow White who hightails it into the big city.
