Vidiots and GKIDS invite you to a special screening of the new animated feature Little Amélie or the Character of Rain followed by a conversation with co-writer/directors Maïlys Valllade and Liane-Cho Han.
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. An Official Selection at Cannes, TIFF, Annecy, San Sebastian and BFI London Film Festivals, the stunning animated feature is the directorial debut of Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han.
Doors will Open at 6:00pm, Screening will start at 7:00pm with conversation to follow.
