Film lovers and curator society Lightcube, along with Delhi's favourite eatery Perch, is hosting a treat for all manga, anime, Japan and Studio Ghibli fans. Isao Takahata remains Japan – and indeed, one of the world’s greatest living filmmakers. One half of the famed Studio Ghibli he co-founded with his renowned partner, Hayao Miyazaki, Takahata has preserved – unlike the much more prolific Hayao – a rather measured, even leisurely pace at which he finishes films. As a result, while his filmography is not elaborate or extensive, it is permeated by titles of rare feeling: a preference for depth, over breadth. The six-film retrospective will cover Takahata’s major achievements, a couple of his unknown films and finally, the film that influenced him to become an animator.

This edition will showcase The Tale of Princess Kaguya (2013).

Found inside a shining stalk of bamboo by an old bamboo cutter and his wife, a tiny girl grows rapidly into an exquisite young lady. The mysterious young princess enthralls all who encounter her - but ultimately she must confront her fate, the punishment for her crime.

And hey, good news, with every ticket, you can enjoy a glass of the house wine or sangria.
