Until Thu 28 May
When a shy hopeless romantic makes a wish that his long-time crush falls in love with him, a sinister enchantment ensues in writer/director Curry Barker's freaky and frightening feature debut.
Katsuhiro Otomo's landmark cyberpunk classic obliterated the boundaries of Japanese animation and forced the world to look into the future. Akira's arrival shattered traditional thinking, creating space for future generations of ground-breaking movies.
We'll be screening Akira in the original Japanese language with Subtitles (S) and in the English dubbing (D). Check below for further information.
The Thu 21 May 20:40 screening will be introduced by Watershed staff member and Akira fan Allie Quinn.
