Don’t miss their exclusive screening of the new anime film THE HOUSE OF THE LOST ON THE CAPE 岬のマヨイガ on September 24, with a very special guest acclaimed Japanese author KASHIWABA Sachiko.

Synopsis: 17-year-old run-away Yui and 8-year-old Hiyori, who lost her family and her voice, have no place to go when they run into Kiwa, a strange old lady. She offers them a place to stay, in a slightly banged-up old house overlooking the sea, a Mayoiga. Despite joining Kiwa on a whim, the two girls find comfort in Mayoiga, a legendary house, said to look after lost travelers, and the warm hospitality of Kiwa. Both girls’ damaged hearts begin to heal little by little. Until one day, a variety of strange beings which Kiwa calls “Fushigitto” begin popping up around the house.
