Modern Classics x Anime

Throughout 2026, we will be celebrating some Modern Classics on the big screen. Films that younger audiences might not have been able to see at the cinema, and other audiences will want to take the opportunity to revisit. These are films that have only had respect and admiration grow for them since release, and really reward the BIG SCREEN experience!
