Howl's Moving Castle®
Directed by internationally acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away®, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind®) Howl's Moving Castle ® depicts the journey of Sophie, an average teenage girl working in a hat shop, when she sets off on a fabulous journey to lift the curse set on her by the vengeful Witch of the Waste with the help of the dashing and debonair wizard Howl. Talking fire, spy dogs, scarecrows with turnip heads and a flying castle, oh my!
Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children®
Two years after the events played out in the popular roleplaying video game Final Fantasy VII ®, Midgar still lies in ruins. Cloud has become a transporter and Tifa has converted 7th Heaven to an orphanage, but they must soon take up the sword again as a mysterious illness is sweeping the land and the arrival of three men who are on a quest to seek out Jenova.
Howl's Moving Castle® will be shown on Saturday June 10th at 12 noon, and Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children® will be shown on Sunday June 11th at 1:20pm.
